ITEM 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Market Central, Inc., dba Scientigo, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Company") is a knowledge management company specializing in solutions that are designed to enable businesses to efficiently store, categorize and retrieve information with state of the art speed and precision. We believe our products are advanced in the market in the areas of information capture, storage and retrieval. We have numerous elemental patents issued and pending in the field of Enterprise Content Management with a revolutionary artificial intelligence we call Business Process Automation.
 
In addition to these elemental patents, we own patents and patent-pending technologies that together comprise a suite of solutions that include software for next-generation search, intelligent document recognition, data capture, cleansing, mining, and integration. We have two subsidiaries, Convey Systems International, Inc. and Tigo Search, Inc. Each of these subsidiaries is effectively inactive.

HISTORY

Market Central, Inc. (f/k/a Paladyne Corp) is the surviving company from a March 1999 merger with Synaptx Worldwide, Inc., a Utah corporation.

In February 2001, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we merged (the “Merger”) with E-Commerce Support Centers, Inc., ("E-Commerce"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 21, 2000, as amended (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the Merger, E-Commerce became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

In February 2003, at a special meeting of the stockholders, our stockholders approved the following items: 1) a change in the name of the Company from Paladyne Corp. to Market Central, Inc., 2) a one-for-ten reverse split of the Company’s common stock and 3) the sale of an aggregate of 8,880,740 post-split shares of common stock to three buyers. This resulted in a change in control of the Company to these three buyers. In connection with this transaction, we converted all classes of our Preferred Stock to our Common Stock.

In April 2003, we consummated the acquisition of U.S. Convergion, Inc. (“Convergion”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 3, 2003 entered into by and among us and each of the six shareholders of Convergion. We acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Convergion in exchange for the issuance of 374,630 restricted shares of our Common Stock and assumption of certain liabilities. We also acquired effective July 31, 2003, substantially all the assets of Pliant Technologies, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 228,351 restricted shares of our Common Stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 182,681 shares of our Common Stock and assumption of certain liabilities.

In May 2004, we disposed of the U.S. Convergion, Inc. subsidiary by selling the capital stock of Convergion that had been acquired in April 2003. This sale, to Sylvia Holdings, Inc., a New York based corporation, included costs associated with the sale that exceeded any proceeds from the sale. We wrote off approximately $4 million in goodwill, related to the Convergion acquisition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 which coincided our decision to divest ourselves of Convergion; during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 the sale to Sylvia Holdings, Inc. was recorded which resulted in a gain of approximately $2.7 million. If the goodwill write off and sale had occurred in the same quarter our financial statements would have reflected a $1.3 million loss on the sale of U.S. Convergion, Inc.

In April 2004, we signed a letter of intent to acquire the assets of Convey Systems, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of The TAG Group, Inc. Our CEO is a shareholder of the The Tag Group, Inc.; he has agreed to forfeit the shares entitled him to pursuant to the acquisition that represent his ownership interest in The TAG Group, Inc. The letter of intent provides for us to issue approximately 1,180,488 shares of our Common Stock to The TAG Group, Inc. and/or its creditors for the assets which include cash, accounts receivable and certain proprietary products in the areas of web conferencing and collaboration and web-based PC support tools. The TAG Group, Inc., Convey Systems, Inc. and we have executed an agreement whereby we are providing day-to-day management and working capital for Convey Systems, Inc. We will receive the net proceeds from sales of Convey products from April 15, 2004 through closing. All net working capital advances made by us will reduce the shares issued in the final purchase transaction. This transaction is now expected to be completed in late 2005. Audit issues and stockholder notification requirements at The TAG Group, Inc. resulted in the delays.

In November 2004, we were notified by our two primary shareholders that they were returning, to our treasury, approximately 5,800,000 shares of our Common Stock, which was approximately 45% of the total common shares outstanding at that time. The notification also provided that they, Glen Hammer and Will Goldstein, were resigning from our Board of Directors and would return to us, for cancellation, a warrant to purchase approximately 2,333,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, these shareholders were converting a net of approximately $1,050,000 in current debt owed them by us into our Series A Preferred Stock. This amount was net of approximately $428,000 of amounts owed to us by companies controlled by one of these shareholders.

In May 2005, E-Commerce Support Centers, Inc., ("E-Commerce") our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Customerlinx of North Carolina, Inc., ("Customerlinx NC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Customerlinx Corp. ("Customerlinx"), pursuant to which Customerlinx NC agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of E-Commerce. The purchase price for the assets was the sum of $1,100,000, and the assumption of $85,234 of net liabilities of E-Commerce (the "Liabilities"). E-Commerce owed Customerlinx the sum of $129,000 in management fees pursuant to a management agreement which was paid with a reduction in the selling price and related promissory note (the "Note") to E-Commerce to $971,000, The Note has a maturity date of 39 months, pays simple interest at five percent (5%), and is secured by certain assets of Customerlinx NC. In the event that Customerlinx NC has not pre-paid the Note in full by May 31, 2006, then Customerlinx NC shall also pay to E-Commerce on or before July 31, 2006 an amount equal to (I) 0.75 multiplied by (II) the amount by which (A) the net income (which calculation shall only include expenses directly attributable to Customerlinx NC's operation of the business in North Carolina and allocable corporate expenses) that Customerlinx NC generates from its operation of the business in North Carolina during the 12 months ending May 31, 2006 (i.e., the period commencing June 1, 2005 and ending May 31, 2006) exceeds (B) the greater of (i) zero or (ii) the net income or loss generated from the operation of the business in North Carolina by E-Commerce and Customerlinx NC in the calendar year ending December 31, 2005. On August 31, 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of E-Commerce to Lion Development Group II, Inc. (the "Agreement"). The transaction was closed on August 31, 2005. The purchase price for the assets was the sum of $1,000, and the assumption of all liabilities of E-Commerce. Additionally, we and the purchaser agreed that on or before one year from the date of the closing, we would in good faith complete a reconciliation of claims against E-Commerce and the payment of such claims in order to compute the deferred portion of the purchase price. Such deferred purchase amount is 70% of the amount by which the cash received from a note owned by E-Commerce and the remaining balance of such note exceeds liabilities paid or agreed to be paid from the proceeds of the note. Such amount is due to us either in the form of cash or assignment of a portion of such note. At closing, the note had a principal balance of $929,004 and is payable over a remaining term of 40 months together with simple interest at an annual rate of five percent (5%), and is secured by certain assets of the obligor.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our current products and services originate from the acquisition of the assets of Pliant Technologies in July 2003. Pliant’s patents and related intellectual property, which we acquired, provided us with a platform to build what we believe is a very powerful suite of software for certain significant market opportunities, generally considered the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) markets by current definitions. We hold multiple patents and patent-pending technologies used to develop a suite of products that we believe provide solutions to the chaos created by the enormous quantities of information available electronically today. Our software includes next generation ECM capabilities. ECM includes intelligent search for the Web and the Enterprise, document classification, and intelligent document recognition. We believe our suite of products offers solutions and products for both Enterprise and Web Search, including the process of identifying and enabling specific content across the web or enterprise to be indexed, searched, and displayed to users. Document classification allows us to search documents for specific content which is we feel particularly useful in the litigation and compliance space. Intelligent document recognition (“IDR”) allows us to determine document type, extract data from documents, validate that data against other sets of data, or classify certain data contained in the document.

Our intellectual property currently includes five patents representing revenue opportunity via product and OEM licensing. To the extent that others are violating any protected rights under these patents, we intend to vigorously pursue our rights. The company has invested significant capital in the continued development of the Intellectual Property portfolio and has retained top specialists to leverage the company’s IP asset in sale or licensing opportunities.

Method for Modeling, Storing, and Transferring Data in Neutral Form/ The present invention simplifies the data modeling process and enables its full dynamic versioning by employing a non-hierarchical, non-integrated structure to the organization of information. This is achieved by expressing data modeling, storage and transfer in a particular non-hierarchical, non-integrated neutral form. The neutral form of the present invention enables complete parallel processing of both data storage and data transfer operations. It also enables the direct integration of separate but related data models and their data without remodeling or reloading. Finally, the present invention enables direct transfer of neutral form information in a manner that includes all of the properties required to independently understand and interpret each transferred data value.

Tiered Hashing for Data Access/ A memory for access by a program being executed by a programmable control device includes a data access structure stored in the memory, the data access structure including a first and a second index structure (each having a plurality of entries) together forming a tiered index. At least one entry in the first structure indicates an entry in the second structure. The number of entries in the second structure being dynamically changeable. A method for building a tiered index structure includes building a first- level index structure having a predetermined number of entries, building a second-level index structure having a dynamic number of entries, and establishing a link between an entry in the first-level index structure and an entry in the second-level index structure.

Blocking Techniques for Data Storage/ Methods to store a first data structure having zero or more fixed-length data items and a reference to a second data structure are described. The second data structure having a variable-length data item (indicated by the reference) may also be stored in the memory. In addition, methods to validate and repair a pointer element having a file identification portion and a file offset portion are described. The methods include determining if the file identification portion indicates an allocated file and indicating an invalid pointer condition if the file identification portion indicates an unallocated file, else determining if the file offset portion indicates an allocated block in the allocated file, and indicating an invalid pointer condition if the file offset portion indicates an unallocated block. The described methods may be stored in any media that is readable and executable by a programmable control device.

We have also continued the marketing of the Convey products that are part of the acquisition that we expect to be completed in late 2005.

Our ECM solutions include a suite of software products and services designed to solve some of the most common and costly problems organizations face today. Our products are marketed under the Scientigo™ and Tigo™ names, which are trademark protected by the Company. These solutions include products for:

Intelligent Document Recognition for paper-to-digital conversion and information extraction (IDR)

Intelligent Classification and Search for enterprise and web content management

Each of these solutions utilizes artificial intelligence derived from elements of our patented technology platform and consequently we believe has significant advantages over solutions that do not have the benefit of these patents. The highlights of our product offerings include:

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Neutral Form: Artificial Intelligence translator converts to a universal format
 
Zero Latency Index: Single index for all forms of structured and unstructured data that grows automatically and incrementally, never requiring reorganization

Minimal Hardware Demands: Storage, retrieval, and processing algorithms that do not depend on structural optimization for performance

Petabyte Scalability: Continuous incremental pooling at enterprise scale

Peer-to-peer networking capable.

The foundation of our Tigo™ Search is a patented artificial intelligence infrastructure that operates continuously and incrementally to update and to process various structured and unstructured information “as is” from disparate sources throughout the enterprise. Raw content is first converted into neutral form data. Artificial intelligence processes are then performed in real time to index, categorize, and integrate this neutral form data on the basis of the context-sensitive semantic interpretation rather than literal forms of the content.
 
We currently manage the operations of Convey Systems, Inc. and are receiving the net proceeds from sales of its products. The purchase of Convey is expected to be completed in November 2005. The Convey products include Snap Conferencing, a collaborative an inexpensive, simple-to-use, on-line web conferencing, and Tech Umbrella, a remote technical support software product for desktop computers that enables technicians to support remote desktop computers 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

This technology offers dynamic and interactive products and services that allow organizations to provide virtual sales presentations, remote desktop support, distance-learning sessions, spontaneous web conferences, and live customer service and desktop support over the Internet. The Convey technology will also be integrated with our suite of products to further complete Market Central’s Enterprise Content Management suite of software products. Convey's proprietary technology provides e-commerce product support and customer service using a live, video-based portal that supports real-time interactions, and the ability to collaborate upon demand, the product includes  text chat, digital photo, encrypted VOIP, Data, full-motion two way video and voice share, URL sharing features, as well as full collaboration and application-sharing capabilities. The Convey solutions are described below:

 
Snap - Snap Conferencing is designed to be used in a corporate environment as a quick, easy, and inexpensive conferencing solution for multi-user video, voice, and application sharing. We believe Snap has the most advanced application sharing capabilities on the market with the easiest user interface.

 
Tech Umbrella, a part of the Convey product line is designed to provide a Web-based package that encompasses leading edge technology for streamlining PC support and repair services. Tech Umbrella is offered to the IT marketplace, software and hardware developers, providers, integrators and supporters, as a comprehensive suite of online tools. Using Tech Umbrella, the IT technician should be able to efficiently and easily diagnose and repair technical problems on remote terminals without the difficulty of licensing, installing, and pre-configuring a third-party software application. Tech Umbrella is working with corporate affiliate companies and franchisors to penetrate the IT marketplace from the top down. This should enable a quicker presence in the marketplace, as entire groups become armed with Tech Umbrella's product packages. The Company has identified over 100,000 independent affiliates and an additional 3,000 IT franchises.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY

We have continued to pursue a strategy to divest ourselves of unprofitable and non-core operations that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Our Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions and related products are being marketed through a series of partnerships with content management OEM’s and integrators. We believe that the OEM’s and integrators in the ECM space provide us with existing relationships and a sales and marketing presence that would take us years to develop. Marketing in this fashion (at the wholesale level), allows us to limit the size of our sales and marketing staff and still achieve economies of scale in the market place. Growth will occur as customer wholesalers increase their sales of our products and as we add new wholesale OEM’s and integrators. We are constantly looking for additional acquisitions and strategic partnerships to increase sales and market share. We believe our patented technologies and corresponding products provide unique, efficient solutions to numerous significant market niches. Configuring our ECM technologies together will enable us to produce turn-key industry solutions.

The above are our stated future goals. However, there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve our expressed goals.

POTENTIAL NEW ACQUISITIONS AND PRODUCT LINES

We intend to investigate, should opportunities arise, strategic acquisitions or mergers that fit our long-term objectives as financing and business conditions warrant, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to finalize any future acquisitions. Although we occasionally explore additional acquisition and merger opportunities, there can be no assurances that financing for any future acquisitions will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that any future acquisitions or mergers will be consummated.

9

SALES AND MARKETING

We market and sell our products and services through our employees and through the cooperative efforts of our business partners. We employ an integrated marketing effort designed to establish market presence and generate potential clients. Lead generation and branding efforts are the responsibility of our Marketing Department. Sales Department personnel engage prospects and develop new business from existing clients. Both marketing and sales manage business partner relationships.

COMPETITION

The industries to which we currently offer and intend to offer our products and services are highly competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, and rapid changes in customer requirements. We are of the opinion that there are no significant competitors for our integrated software platform; however, competitors exist for the various component “modules” within the platform.

We compete primarily with products offered by ABBYY, Datacap, OCE, SWT, ReadSoft and AnyDoc for Intelligent Document Recognition and, Google, Yahoo, MicroSoft, Autonomy, Convera, FAST Search and Transfer and Verity for Intelligent Search. Some of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new competitors, have larger technical staffs, more established and larger sales and marketing organizations and greater financial resources than us. There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully with our existing competitors or will be able to compete successfully with new competitors. In addition, there can be no assurance that competitors will not develop products that are superior to our products or achieve greater market acceptance. Competitive pressures in the form of aggressive price competition could also have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our future success will depend significantly upon our ability to increase our share of our target markets, to maintain and increase our renewal revenues from existing customers and to sell additional products, product enhancements, maintenance and support agreements and training services to existing customers and new customers. There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete favorably or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

EMPLOYEES
 
As of September 30, 2005, we employed 21 individuals, consisting of 4 executives and 17 professionals, sales representatives, and office staff. We believe that our relationships with our employees are satisfactory.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
We currently operate in one business segment which is the knowledge management segment.

ITEM 2.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our principal executive offices are located at 6701 Carmel Road Suite 205, Charlotte, NC 27226. This facility is leased through September 2010 and covers approximately 5,000 square feet at an approximate annual rental rate of $85,000. We believe our current premises are adequate for current purposes and if necessary that we would be able to obtain alternative or additional space.
 
ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 2004, an order requesting the U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of North Carolina to prosecute an alleged criminal contempt of court by us, that occurred in the case of Tweddle Litho Corp. vs. Gilbralter and Scientigo, Inc., or Tweddle Case, was entered by a judge in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of North Carolina in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina issued a criminal information against us alleging contempt of court by virtue of our violation of a court order entered on May 13, 2004 in the Tweddle Case when we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, Convergion, on June 2, 2004 in violation of the provisions of the order of May 13, 2004 enjoining us from transferring any of our assets out of the ordinary course of business. In October 2004, we and the U.S. Attorney entered into a written plea agreement whereby we agreed to pay $50,000 for the alleged criminal contempt of court. The matter was ruled on and accepted in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina during the three months ended May 31, 2005. We were also placed on probation for one year.

10

In April 2004, iGate, Inc. (“iGate”) filed a complaint against Gilbralter Publishing, Inc. (“Gilbralter”) and us in the U.S. District of the Eastern District of North Carolina, Southern Division, claiming that we were liable to iGate in the amount of approximately $725,000. iGate asserts that Gilbralter owed this sum to iGate and that a fraudulent conveyance occurred when Gilbralter forgave $5,000,000 in liabilities of a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours which were guaranteed by us in exchange for our issuing to Gilbralter shares of our Common Stock and warrants to purchase our Common Stock. In May 2004, a default judgment was entered against us. In November 2004, the court vacated the default judgment and granted us leave to answer the complaint. We filed our answer and asserted affirmative defenses alleging absolute defenses to the claims of iGate. We asserted that we had no liability to iGate and had meritorious defenses with respect to all liability asserted in the complaint.
 
In May  2005, the Company was notified by a software licensed monitoring group that it was not in compliance with certain computer software licensing agreements. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims.

In the ordinary course of business, we have become subject to additional litigation and claims on various matters. There exists the possibility that we will not prevail in all cases. However, based on anticipated adverse final determination of these litigations and claims, we do not believe that such litigation and claims would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state. Presently, the Company has no plans to register its securities in any particular state. Further, most likely the Company’s shares will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets (at least $2 million); or exempted from the definition by the Commission. If the Company’s shares are deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse.


12


For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in the Company’s Common Stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.

As of October 17, 2005, there were 301 holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock. This amount does not take into account those stockholders whose certificates are held in the name of broker-dealers or otherwise in street or nominee name.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends on its Common Stock or made distributions in the past, and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has a deficit stockholders’ equity, which would restrict payment of cash dividends. The Company currently intends to retain and invest future earnings to finance its operations.

Generally, the warrants and options that are granted pursuant to individual compensation arrangements are generally exercisable for a term of four years and have exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock at the time of the warrant/option issuance.
 
As these shares of common stock are issued pursuant to individual compensation arrangements, there is no reserve for future issuances other than the total number of authorized shares of common stock available to us under our Certificate of Incorporation.
 
TRANSFER AGENT

The Company has designated American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY, as its transfer agent for the Common Stock.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, the Company issued 6,769,669 shares of common stock and cancelled 6,840,370 shares of common stock upon the contribution of such shares by two major stockholders and the completion of the agreement with our former President. The issuances included 83,000 shares for services rendered by vendors, 31,064 to employees for compensation, 35,000 to Board of Director members as compensation, 235,970 upon exercises of options, 461,300 upon exercises of warrants and 5,923,335 issued as a result of the conversion of all of our Series A Preferred Stock into common shares. The cancellations related to the return of shares reflected as common stock receivable in the 2004 financial statements. These shares were issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Sections 3 (a) (9) and 4(2) thereof.
 
ITEM 6.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

We are a provider of proprietary, patented software for data capture, cleansing, mining, integration, search, and intelligent document recognition.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

 
·
revenue recognition

 
·
allowance for doubtful accounts

 
·
business combinations

13

 
·
goodwill and intangible asset impairment

 
·
legal contingencies

 
·
income taxes

 
·
stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Noted below are brief descriptions of the product or service revenues that the Company recognizes in the financial statements contained herein.

We recognize revenues from contracts in which the Company provides only consulting services as the services are performed. The contractual terms of the agreements dictate the recognition of revenue by the Company. Payments received in advance are deferred until the service is provided.

We recognize revenues from equipment and implementation contracts on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. This method is used because management considers total job cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

Contract costs include all direct equipment, material, and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability that may result in revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Amounts collected prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are included in deferred revenue and advance payments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their estimated realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when we assess the realization of accounts receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional provision for doubtful accounts could be required. We initially record a provision for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience, and then adjust this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of our accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, we consider: (i) the aging of the accounts receivable; (ii) trends within and ratios involving the age of the accounts receivable; (iii) the customer mix in each of the aging categories and the nature of the receivable; (iv) our historical provision for doubtful accounts; (v) the credit worthiness of the customer; and (vi) the economic conditions of the customer’s industry as well as general economic conditions, among other factors.

14


Business combinations

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, which established accounting and reporting standards for business combinations and requires that all business combinations be accounted for by the purchase method. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction costs, is allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The judgments made in determining the estimated fair values and expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets and liabilities acquired can significantly impact net income. For example, different classes of assets will have useful lives that differ. Consequently, to the extent a longer-lived asset is ascribed greater value under the purchase method than a shorter-lived asset, there may be less amortization recorded in a given period.

Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired is subjective in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We use a one-year period following the consummation of acquisitions to finalize estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired. Two areas, in particular, that require significant judgment are estimating the fair values and related useful lives of identifiable intangible assets. While there are a number of different methods used in estimating the value of acquired intangibles, there are two approaches primarily used: the discounted cash flow and market comparison approaches. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the two approaches include: projected future cash flows (including timing); discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows; perpetual growth rate; determination of appropriate market comparables; and the determination of whether a premium or a discount should be applied to comparables. Most of the foregoing assumptions are made based on available historical information.

Goodwill and intangible asset impairment

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142-Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142) on April 1, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but are tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value amount. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, or significant negative industry or economic trends.


15


Our principal consideration in determining impairment includes the strategic benefit to the Company of the particular assets as measured by undiscounted current and future operating income of the specified group of assets and expected undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment be identified, a loss would be reported to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value as determined by discounted future cash flows.

In fiscal year 2005 we analyzed goodwill for impairment at the Company level. As a result of the ongoing reorganization of our reporting structure, we anticipate that, in the future, we will have sufficiently discrete financial information to conduct a goodwill impairment analysis at the reporting unit level. This change may affect the amounts recorded for goodwill impairment in future periods.

Based on the impairment tests performed by management, there was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2005. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally two to five years.

Legal contingencies

We are currently involved in legal proceedings, certain of which are discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB. We record liabilities related to pending litigation when an unfavorable outcome is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We have not recorded liabilities for certain pending litigation because of the uncertainties related to assessing both the amount and the probable outcome of those claims. As additional information becomes available, we continually assess the potential liability related to pending litigation. While we currently believe that the liabilities recorded on our balance sheet are sufficient to cover pending litigation for which an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that such estimates will be accurate or that, in the future, additional reserves will not be required.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS 109 prescribes the use of the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, we increase or decrease our income tax provision in our statement of operations. If any of our estimates of our prior period taxable income or loss prove to be incorrect, material differences could impact the amount and timing of income tax benefits or payments for any period. In addition, as a result of the significant change in the Company’s ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. This statement amends SFAS No. 123 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, providing alternative methods of voluntarily transitioning to the fair market value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also requires disclosure of the method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method in both the annual and interim financial statements. The provisions of this statement related to transition methods are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, while provisions related to disclosure requirements are effective in financial reports for interim periods beginning after December 31, 2002.

We elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under the provisions of APB No. 25, compensation expense is measured at the grant date for the difference between the fair value of the stock and the exercise price.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following selected financial information has been derived from our consolidated financial statements. The information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of results of future operations and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.

Comparison of Years Ended August 31, 2005 and 2004

Revenues
 
The Company’s revenues from continuing operations of $32,277 and $24,279, for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively reflect an increase of $7,998 or 32.9%. This increase is not significant due to the early stage of our marketing efforts related to our software products. Revenue in fiscal 2005 relate to software license sales and charges for proof of concept with customers evaluating our software. The revenue in fiscal 2004 relates to consulting services provided to a customer that was evaluating our software. After the disposition of the call center operations in May 2005, all revenues related to those operations have been combined into the caption “loss from discontinued operations”.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues decreased $7,712 to zero in 2005 as a result of there being no direct costs associated with the revenue generated during the year ended August 31, 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) during the year ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, including depreciation and amortization were $9,224,887 and $3,521,387, respectively. This increase of $5,703,500 from 2004 was the result of several components including a $4,145,521 charge in 2005 relating to the value of the $.85 exercise price warrants issued in August. We issued warrants for 5,923,335 shares of common stock in conjunction with the conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock into our common stock, the charge to operations was the difference between the $.85 warrant price and the market price of our stock at time of issuance which was $1.44. Legal costs during 2005 totaled $1,092,037 which is an increase of $746,087 over the 2004 total of $345,950. This increase in legal costs was caused by increased litigation defense expenditures relating to our defense in a number of lawsuits many of which have now been settled or dismissed. In addition to legal defense work, we charged to operations approximately $273,026 of legal costs related to our patent filings, preparation and consulting relating to future licensing or sale of our existing patents. Commissions and costs related to the sale of the Senior Convertible Notes of $640,634 and $-0- were charged to expense in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The additional increase of $171,259 in SG&A is due to increases and declines in several areas, the significant areas of which are discussed below. Personnel costs were $1,499,217 and $1,219,743 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decline in personnel costs related to the sale and discontinued operations at the call center was offset by increasing payroll costs related to our software productization activities resulting in a net increase in payroll costs of $279,474 from 2004 to 2005. Rent expense charged to operations was $67,684 and $15,097 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase of $52,587 relates to the expansion and relocation of our Company’s headquarters to Charlotte, NC. Lawsuit settlement costs of $400,000 in 2004 compared to $203,000 in 2005 resulted from fewer matters in litigation. Board of Director compensation was $49,689 and $120,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, which was entirely stock grants or options in 2004 resulted from the reduction in number of Board members in 2005 and fewer awards for past and previously unpaid services. Depreciation of equipment and amortization of Patent and Trademark Costs accounted for $55,028 and $42,346 of SG&A in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

17

 
Other Income

Other income of $283,178 for the year ended August 31, 2005 was primarily the result of the settlement of a previously recorded accounts payable liability at a discount of approximately $235,000 and the recognition of approximately $59,000 of income related to the amortization of the discount related to the Notes Receivable.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $2,319,409 and $131,030 during the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively represents an increase of $2,188,379 from 2004 to 2005. The primary factor in this dramatic increase in interest expense was the charge related to the 20% discount on the 6.4% Senior Convertible Notes (“Notes”) sold during fiscal 2005. This charge accounted for $1,289,290 of the increase. The sale of these Notes also resulted in discounts related to the underlying value of the warrants which accompanied the Notes and that related to the value of the conversion feature. This discount is charged to Additional Paid in Capital initially and then amortized with a charge to interest expense. The total amount of these amortization charges was $810,205 and $-0- in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Interest expense in 2005 also includes actual interest paid on these Notes of $68,300 and $-0- was expensed in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

NET OPERATING LOSS

The Company has accumulated approximately $11,900,000 of net operating loss carry forwards as of August 31, 2005, which may be offset against taxable income and income taxes in future years. The use of these losses to reduce future income tax liabilities will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry forwards. The carry forwards expire in the year 2026. The February 2003 transaction with the Company’s new controlling shareholders resulted in a change in control of the Company; there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carry forwards that can be used.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have successfully completed several steps in our long-range plan to stabilize our financial structure. These steps included the raising of significant equity and debt capital during the years ended August 31, 2005, and 2004, and the sale and restructure of certain corporate assets which were significantly contributing to our on-going losses. The first step in our restructuring process was the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock, which raised approximately $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2004, and approximately $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2005. We also issued Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,051,217 of notes payable to related parties during fiscal 2005. With this capital, we were able to substantially reduce vendor payables and generally enable obligations that were in arrears or default to be paid or settled. In the final quarter of fiscal year 2005, we offered an exchange to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock which provided for their preferred shares to be exchanged for shares of our Common Stock on a one-for-one basis and warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock exercisable at $.85 per share. In August 2005, all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock accepted the exchange offer and all of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged into 5,923,335 shares of common stock and 5,923,335 warrants exercisable at $.85 per share. We received $563,364 and $366,726 prior to and subsequent to August 31, 2005, respectively, as a result of exercise of these warrants. We thereafter eliminated the Series A Preferred Stock as a designated series of our preferred stock.

In May 2005, we began the offering of a new class of secured debt, our 2005 6.4% Senior Convertible Notes. Through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we issued $6,446,450 principal amount of these Notes, which were sold at a 20% discount from principal amount, and received proceeds, prior to commissions, of $5,157,160. Additional issuances after fiscal year 2005 resulted in another $150,000 of proceeds, prior to commissions, related to these Notes. The Notes are convertible into one share of our Common Stock for each $1.3325 of principal amount of the Notes. In addition, for each $2.00 of principal amount of the Notes issued, the purchasers of the Notes received a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at $1.00 per share. At August 31, 2005, we had issued 3,223,225 of these warrants, 140,625 of which have been exercised resulting in $140,625 of proceeds to us during the year. The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the exercise of the warrants will be utilized to further implement our marketing plans for the suite of products discussed above and to monetize our intellectual property portfolio. In May 2005, we sold the assets of our E-Commerce subsidiary. Thereafter, we sold the stock in the E-Commerce subsidiary resulting in the complete divestiture of our call center operations and related liabilities. This resulted in the Company’s current liabilities declining $1,746,762 and eliminated a unprofitable business segment. These steps were critical in providing us with a manageable level of current debt and trade payables, and to lay the foundation to enable us to transform ourselves from a call center dominated operation to a technology based company.

18

These steps have resulted in our improved cash position, $2,124,029 at August 2005 compared to $344,099 at August 2004 and a current ratio of greater than 1:1. This foundation, together with approximately 5,100,000 unexercised $.85 warrants and 3,070,000 unexercised $1.00 warrants provides us with the proper capital structure to execute our plans. The exercise of these warrants is not assured but we expect that they will be exercised during the second and third quarters of our fiscal 2006.

Net cash used in operating activities in the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively was $5,107,658 and $4,721,885 due to the net loss from continuing and discontinued operations of $12,386,928 and $14,514,854 (excluding gain on sale of discontinued operation of $1,235,785 and $2,784,370, respectively). This was comprised of a net increase (decrease) in working capital items of approximately $446,891and ($380,934). The effect on cash from operating activities caused by these losses were offset by non-cash write off of the impaired goodwill relating to the our Convergion subsidiary that was sold of $-0- and $4,062,003 and depreciation and amortization expenses of $55,028 and $576,115 during fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additional non-cash expenses that were an offset to the effect on cash from operating activities include $2,090,495 and $-0- of charges related to the discount of and amortization of beneficial conversion features of the Senior Convertible Notes, respectively. There were also certain expenses with the issuance of the Company’s capital stock. The total of expenses paid with the issuance of capital stock and stock options and warrants was $874,189 and $1,224,270 during fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2004 was $287,634. This was due to the purchase of certain fixed assets necessary to the operations of the business. Net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2005 includes $129,000 of cash received from sale of ecom, and $112,027 of cash used to purchase certain fixed assets.

Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2005 and 2004 was $6,870,615 and $5,015,665 due to sales of Senior Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock in 2005 and the sale of Series A and Series B Preferred Shares in 2004. The Company also entered into an accounts receivable financing agreement and advances (repayments) from lender (factor) amounted to ($483,590) and $496,388 during 2005 and 2004, respectively.

By adjusting its operations to the level of capitalization, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
 
The Notes and Warrants that we issued to investors may not have been exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 or from the registration or qualification requirements under the securities laws of certain states. Consequently, the issuance of the Notes and Warrants may not have been in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the state securities laws of the states of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia. Our Board of Directors has determined to conduct a rescission offer to address these securities laws compliance issues by allowing the holders of the Notes and Warrants to rescind the purchase of such securities and sell those securities back to us if they so desire. Generally, if the rescission offer is accepted, we will repurchase such Notes and Warrants at the price investors paid, plus interest at the current state statutory rate per year, if any, from the date of purchase through the date of payment pursuant to the rescission offer, less interest previously paid to Note holders. This rescission offer will be accompanied by an exchange offer to Note holders who do not accept the rescission offer pursuant to which such holders will be entitled to receive, at their election, new notes and new warrants with more favorable conversion and exercise terms, respectively. The rescission offer will be available for a thirty-day period which will begin upon the effectiveness of a registration statement which we have filed with the SEC with respect to the rescission offer. While we do not believe a significant number of holders of the Notes and Warrants will accept the rescission offer, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the offer. We do not currently have a sufficient balance of cash or cash equivalents to satisfy the rescission offer if accepted by all holders.
 
Accordingly, should the rescission offer be accepted by a significant number of note holders, this may materially adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition.

EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “…under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges…” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have any immediate material impact in the Company.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67” (“SFAS 152) The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 and thereafter.

On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges on Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“SFAS 153”). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143”, which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset requirement obligation when incurred of the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 no later than the second quarter of its fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors
Market Central, Inc.
Charlotte, NC


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Market Central, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of losses, deficiency in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years ended August 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended August 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MARKET CENTRAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2005 AND 2004
 
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Market Central, Inc. (the "Company") is a software and intellectual property enterprise with products which provide a platform to build a suite of software for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) needs. The Company holds multiple patents and patent-pending technologies and have developed the suite of products that provides solutions for managing the significant quantities of electronic information available today. The Company’s software includes next generation ECM capabilities. ECM includes; intelligent search for the internet and each enterprise, classification and intelligent document recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Convey Systems International, Inc. (“CSI”), Tigo Search, Inc., ecommerce support centers, inc. (“ecom”) and U.S. Convergion, Inc. ("Convergion"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company sold its ecom and Convergion subsidiaries in August 2005 and May 2004, respectively. The ecom and Convergion business segments are accounted for as discontinued operations, and accordingly, amounts in the financial statements, and related notes for all periods shown have been restated to reflect discontinued operations accounting. Summarized results of the discontinued businesses and information relating to the sale of these subsidiaries are further described in Note B.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from contracts in which the Company provides only consulting services as the services are performed. The contractual terms of the agreements dictate the recognition of revenue by the Company. Payments received in advance are deferred until the service is provided.

Contract costs include all direct equipment, material, and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability that may result in revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB104"), which superceded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS ("SAB101").

SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers,

MARKET CENTRAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 ("EITF 00-21"), MULTIPLE-DELIVERABLE REVENUE ARRANGEMENTS. This issue addresses determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. EITF 00-21 became effective for revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003. For revenue arrangements occurring on or after August 1, 2003, the Company revised its revenue recognition policy to comply with the provisions of EITF 00-21.
 
For those contracts which contain multiple deliverables, management must first determine whether each service, or deliverable, meets the separation criteria of EITF 00-21. In general, a deliverable (or a group of deliverables) meets the separation criteria if the deliverable has standalone value to the customer and if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the remaining deliverables in the arrangement. Each deliverable that meets the separation criteria is considered a “separate unit of accounting.” Management allocates the total arrangement consideration to each separate unit of accounting based on the relative fair value of each separate unit of accounting. The amount of arrangement consideration that is allocated to a unit of accounting that has already been delivered is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another separate unit of accounting. After the arrangement consideration has been allocated to each separate unit of accounting, management applies the appropriate revenue recognition method for each separate unit of accounting as described previously based on the nature of the arrangement. All deliverables that do not meet the separation criteria of EITF 00-21 are combined into one unit of accounting, and the appropriate revenue recognition method is applied.

Advertising

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred no advertising costs during the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs. Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred no research and product development costs for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004.

MARKET CENTRAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided based on the liability method for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of Statements of Financial Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 24 to 60 months using the straight-line method (Note D).

Long-lived Assets

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undercounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Capitalized Computer Hardware and Software

The Company has adopted SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The Company capitalizes software purchased from third parties if the related software product under development has reached technological feasibility or if there are alternative future uses for the purchased software provided that capitalized amounts will be realized over a period not exceeding five years.

F-12


MARKET CENTRAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In addition, the company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, interest, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software once technological feasibility is attained. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to general and administrative expense.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and related party receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at August 31, 2005 and 2004.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option.
 
The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended August 31, 2005 and 2004 and will adopt the interim disclosure provisions for its financial reports for the subsequent periods. Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards, the Company’s net loss and losses per share would have been as follows (transactions involving stock options issued to employees and Black-Scholes model assumptions are presented in Note L):

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Liquidity

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $11,228,841 and $3,635,850 from continuing operations during the year ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $47,840 as of August 31, 2005.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share under Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). During the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years' financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (“SFAS 130”), “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.

Segment Information
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"). SFAS establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company's principal operating segments.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs— an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67” (“SFAS 152) The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.

AUGUST 31, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“ SFAS 153”). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143,” which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 no later than the second quarter of its fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE B - DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

U.S. Convergion, Inc.

In May 2004, the Company sold Convergion to Sylvia Holding Co., Inc. ("Sylvia") through a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Sylvia acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Convergion and agreed to issue to the Company a total of 500,000 shares of its common stock valued at $0.001 per share. As a result of the sale of the Convergion business segment, the Company accounted for the segment as a discontinued operation, and accordingly, the amounts in the financial statements and related notes for the year ended August 31, 2004 have been restated to reflect discontinued operations accounting.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142) effective August 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement requires goodwill amortization to cease and for goodwill to be periodically reviewed for impairment.

In February 2004, the Company completed a test for goodwill in connection with acquisition of Convergion, and the result indicated that the recorded book value of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as determined by discounted cash flows. The decrease in fair value is a result of:

o
Significant operating losses since the date of acquisition
o
Unanticipated decline in revenues and profitability
o
Loss of key personnel

As a result of these events and circumstances, Company management believes that more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill has been reduced below its carrying value. As a result, management performed an evaluation of the reporting unit's tangible and intangible assets for purposes of determining the implied fair value of goodwill. Upon completion of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4,062,003, net of tax, or $0.31 per share in February 2004 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill in this reporting unit to its estimated value of
$0. This charge, as well as all other financial results relating to Convergion, has been reflected in the loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2004.

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Sylvia a promissory note (“Note”) in the amount of $500,000 to serve as security for the obligations of the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Note shall only become due and payable upon the demand of Sylvia upon an event of default of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Sylvia. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company granted Sylvia a security interest in any and all existing or after acquired assets of the Company, up to $3,000,000, securing the Company’s obligations to Sylvia under the Note (collectively the “Escrow Document”). The Note and the Security Agreement matured and expired in fiscal 2005. Additionally, the Company management believes that more likely than not the fair value of the Sylvia common stock has been reduced below its carrying value at August 31, 2004. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $500 to reduce the carrying value of Sylvia common stock to its estimated value of $0.

On August 31, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of ecommerce support centers, inc. (“ecom”) to Lion Development Group II, Inc. The purchase price for the assets was the sum of $1,000, and the assumption of all liabilities of ecom. Additionally, the Company and the Purchaser agreed that on or before one year from the date of the closing, they would in good faith complete a reconciliation of claims against ecom and the payment of such claims in order to compute the deferred portion of the purchase price. Such deferred purchase amount is 70% of the amount by which the cash received from a note owned by ecom and the remaining balance of such note exceeds liabilities paid or agreed to be paid from the proceeds of the note. Such amount is due to the Company either in the form of cash or assignment of a portion of such note. At closing, the note had a principal balance of $929,004 and is payable over a remaining term of 40 months together with simple interest at an annual rate of five percent (5%), and is secured by certain assets of the obligor.

Subsequent to April 2005, the Company authorized offering up to $7,187,500 aggregate face value of the notes. The Convertible Note was offered with a 20% discount, resulting in net proceeds before commissions of $5,000,000 to the Company of the initial offering amount and up to $5,750,000 if fully subscribed. The Convertible Note was initially offered only to holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. Included with the Convertible Notes were warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each $2 of face value of Convertible Notes sold at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a term which expires in June 2010. The Convertible Notes provide for conversion of the face amount of the notes into the Company’s common stock at $1.3325 per share and they provide for interest to be paid quarterly. The repayment of the Convertible Notes is secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s intellectual property granted pursuant to a security agreement to be entered into by the Company. Upon the payment or conversion of $5,000,000 of the total Principal Amount of the Notes, the XML patents owned by Scientigo will be released from such security interest.

As of August 31, 2005, the Company sold Convertible Notes with a face value of $6,446,450 and received net proceeds of $5,157,160. In connection with issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company issued warrants to its placement agent in exchange for services and commissions. The exercise prices of these warrants were below the fair market value of the Company's common stock. The Company has charged an aggregate of $640,364 to operations during 2005 in connection with the warrants issued to its placement agent (Note L). Additionally, the Company accounted for and charged to operations $1,289,290 of interest expense during the year ended August 31, 2005 in connection with the original 20% discount on the Convertible Notes sold through August 31, 2005 (see Note Q and R).

This conversion resulted in the issuance of 5,923,335 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 5,556,583 shares of Series A Preferred Stock previously issued and 366,752 shares of common stock issued as payment for dividends related to the Series A Preferred stock in the amount of $488,468. The issuance of common stock settled in full the cumulative preferred stock dividends of $427,401 and $61,067 accrued during the year ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

This results in the conversion of a maximum of 4,000,000 shares and a minimum of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock holders also have an option to acquire additional common shares in an amount to permit the conversion rights plus this option to result in a total of 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. 

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with a Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $875,000, which equals to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a return to the Series B Preferred Stock holders. Since the preferred shares were convertible at the date of issuance, the return to the preferred shareholders attributed to the beneficial conversion feature has been recognized in full at the date the Series B Preferred Stock was issued.

The 2,000,000 shares of common stock held by the Escrow Agent pending any conversion of the Series B Convertible remain with the escrow agent. The shares were coded so as not be considered issued until the Series B Preferred Stock shareholders exercise the conversion right. As of August 31, 2005, none of the Series B Preferred Stock shareholders exercised the conversion right.

In November 2004, the Company’s two significant shareholders agreed to return 5,880,740 common shares to the Company’s treasury. In addition, these individuals cancelled a warrant that they owned which provided them with the right to purchase approximately 2,300,000 shares of common stock in the Company, they resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors and they converted a net of $1,051,217 in demand notes due them, net of accounts receivable due the Company into the Series A Preferred Stock.

NOTE P - INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard Number 109 (“SFAS 109”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company's aggregate unused net operating losses approximate $11,900,000, which expire through 2026. The deferred tax asset related to the carryforward is approximately $4,046,000. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized. Significant changes in ownership may limit the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses.

In August 2005, the Company agreed to settle a claim from a consultant who had provided services to the Company during fiscal 2004.  This claim was paid subsequent to year end with $60,000 in cash and the issuance of 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2005 contain a charge to operations of $140,000 relating to this transaction.

NOTE Q - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Litigation (Continued)

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Securities Law Issue
 
Subsequent to the date of financial statements the Company determined that the 6.4% Senior Convertible Notes and Warrants that the Company issued to investors (Note I) may not have been exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 or from the registration or qualification requirements under the securities laws of certain states. Consequently, the issuance of the Notes and Warrants may not have complied with the Securities Act of 1933 and the state securities laws of the states of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia. The Company may be subject to claims by federal and state regulators for any such violations. In addition, if any purchaser of the Company's Senior Convertible Notes were to prevail in a suit resulting from a violation of federal or applicable state securities laws, the Company could be liable to return the amount paid for such securities with interest thereon, less the amount of any income received thereon, upon tender of such securities, or for damages if the purchaser no longer owns the securities. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any alleged specific violation or the likelihood of any claim. There can be no assurance that litigation asserting such claims will not be initiated, or that the Company would prevail in any such litigation. The Company has elected to conduct a rescission offer to address these potential securities laws compliance issues by allowing the holders of the Notes and Warrants to rescind the purchase of such securities and sell those securities back to the Company if they so desire (see Note R).
 
The Company is unable to predict the extent of its ultimate liability with respect to any and all future securities matters. The costs and other effects of any future litigation, government investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and operating results.

NOTE R - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to the date of financial statements the Company determined that the 6.4% Senior Convertible Notes and Warrants (Note I) that the Company issued to investors may not have been exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 or from the registration or qualification requirements under the securities laws of certain states. Consequently, the issuance of the Notes and Warrants may not have complied with the Securities Act of 1933 and the state securities laws of the states of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia (Note Q). The Company elected to conduct a rescission offer to address these securities laws compliance issues by allowing the holders of the Notes and Warrants to rescind the purchase of such securities and sell those securities back to the Company if they so desire. Generally, if the rescission offer is accepted, the Company will repurchase such Notes and Warrants at the price investors paid, plus interest at the current state statutory rate per year, if any, from the date of purchase through the date of payment pursuant to the rescission offer, less interest previously paid to Note holders. This rescission offer will be accompanied by an exchange offer to Note holders who do not accept the rescission offer pursuant to which such holders will be entitled to receive, at their election, new notes and new warrants with more favorable conversion and exercise terms, respectively. The rescission offer will be available for a thirty-day period which will begin upon the effectiveness of a registration statement which the Company has filed with the SEC with respect to the rescission offer and exchange offer. While the Company's management does not believe a significant number of holders of the convertible debt will accept the rescission offer, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the offer. Accordingly, should the rescission offer be accepted by a significant number of note holders, this may have a materially adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition.

ITEM 8A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The registrant’s principal executive officers and principal financial officer, based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of August 31, 2005 have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the registrant and its consolidated subsidiaries is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, particularly during the period in which this annual report has been prepared.

As required by Rule 13a-15(d), the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer , also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Market Central’s internal control over financial reporting. The registrant’s principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that there were no changes in the registrant’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to September 30, 2005, the date of their most recent evaluation of such controls, and that there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the registrant’s internal controls.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission certain reports of beneficial ownership of our common stock. We believe that such reports have been filed by our directors and executive officers, but with respect to all such directors and executive officers, not in a timely manner. We do not believe that certain 10% holders of our Common Stock have filed such reports. We adopted a code of ethics that applies to the senior financial officers which includes the CEO, COO, CFO and principle accounting officer.

ITEM 10.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Our directors who are not our employees (“outside directors”) receive an annual director’s fee of $20,000 ($25,000 for the Chairman of our Audit Committee). In addition, each outside director upon his first election as a member of our board receives a grant of nonqualified stock options with an exercise price of the fair market value of our Common Stock at the time of grant. These options vest one-third immediately, one-third on the first anniversary of grant and one-third on the second anniversary of grant provided that such outside director remains a director on such anniversaries. Directors who are employed by us do not receive additional consideration for serving as directors, except that all directors are entitled to reimbursement for travel and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their attendance at board and committee meetings.
 
On September 22, 2005, we granted each of our three outside directors, Messrs. Yarbrough, Attkisson and Lowder options to purchase 300,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.35 per share for a term of five years.

Employee Stock Option Plan

Our 2003 Amended and Restated Stock Plan (the "Plan"), assumed the 1996 Stock Option Plan, which was adopted in 1996 and amended in October 1997, July 2001, October 2003 and December 2003 to increase the number of issuable shares under the Plan to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage stock ownership by our management and employees, to provide an additional incentive for those employees to contribute to our success and to provide us with the opportunity to use stock options as a means of recruiting new managerial personnel where appropriate.

The Plan authorizes the grant of options which qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code ("qualified options"), as well as stock options which do not qualify under that section of the Code ("nonqualified options"). The Plan is administered by our Board of Directors who may delegate these duties to the Compensation Committee. The Board is authorized to select the individual employees to receive options under the Plan, the number of shares subject to each option, the option term and other matters specified in the Plan.

The Plan provides that the exercise price of any option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our stock at the date of grant, defined as the average bid and ask price over the prior five days' trading in which at least 1,000 shares have traded. Options must be granted within ten years from the date the Plan was approved by our shareholders.

A maximum of 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Plan, subject to adjustments to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of participants in certain circumstances. As of August 31, 2005, 5,801,424 options were outstanding, 551,424 of which were issued inside the Plan. As of August 31, 2005, 518,092 shares are exercisable at an option price per share ranging from $.01 to $3.16 per share and with expiration dates from February 2005 through February 2009.

Profit Sharing Plan

We sponsor a qualified employee savings plan (commonly referred to as a “401K plan”) for all eligible employees, including all of our officers. Participants may make contributions from their gross pay (limited to 15% of the employee’s compensation, as defined up to $14,000 annually). We do not match any contributions. No other deferred compensation plan is currently in place.

Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with three of our executive officers: Doyal G. Bryant, CEO, Clifford A. Clark, CFO and Paul S. Odom, Senior Vice President.

Mr. Bryant’s contract provides for an annual salary of $180,000 and will terminate on October 7, 2007. The contract provides for compensation in the case of a change of control of our Company which if Mr. Bryant elects to resign shall equal twice his annual salary and all unvested stock options immediately vesting. Compensation in the case of termination without cause provides for normal payout of the contract plus nine months additional compensation. The contract also provides for options for 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. These are divided into four equal traunches of 1,000,000 at prices of $1.60, $2.00, $2.25 and $2.50, respectively. The first 1,000,000, which are exercisable at $1.60, have vested; the remaining 3,000,000 options will vest upon achieving certain stock price goals.

ITEM 12.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Placement Agent Commissions

The firm of Jones Byrd & Attkisson, Inc. has acted as Placement Agent for our prior offerings of Notes and Warrants and the Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with such offerings, the Placement Agent has received $803,207 in cash commissions and warrants to purchase 1,817,887 shares of our Common Stock at cashless exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.3325. Additionally, we have agreed to pay fees to the Placement Agent, if allowed by applicable state law, in the event that holders convert certain notes or exercise certain warrants. Ronald L. Attkisson, one of our directors, is a principal of the Placement Agent. Cynthia White, our Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has been the Financial and Operating Principal and CFO for the Placement Agent from August 2003 to the present. Ms. White will end that consulting arrangement at such time that the Placement Agent transitions her position to her successor.

TAG/Convey Transaction

Scientigo has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to purchase substantially all of the assets of The Tag Group, Inc., or TAG. These assets consist of cash, accounts receivable and certain proprietary products in the areas of web conferencing and collaboration and web-based PC support tools. Subject to the execution of definitive agreements, this transaction is now expected to be completed in late calendar year 2005. Audit issues relating to TAG caused the delays. TAG and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Convey Systems, Inc., or Convey, and Scientigo have executed an agreement whereby Scientigo is providing day-to-day management for Convey. Scientigo has received the net proceeds from sales of Convey products since April 15, 2004, and will continue to do so through the closing. The purchase price of these assets plus related expenses is expected to be up to approximately 1,180,488 shares of Scientigo's Common Stock. Doyal Bryant, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scientigo, is the beneficial owner of approximately 49% of the outstanding Common Stock of TAG. In such capacity, Mr. Bryant would have received a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the event that the TAG/Convey transaction is consummated. Mr. Bryant has agreed to forego the receipt of any such shares and has no financial interest in the consummation of the TAG/Convey transaction. Mr. Thomas Gordy, a former director of Scientigo, received 300,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of Scientigo at $1.60 per share for providing services to Scientigo in connection with the transaction.

Recapitalization Transactions

In November 2004, after discussions with management regarding the capital structure of Scientigo, Scientigo's two largest beneficial stockholders (William A. Goldstein and Glen Hammer) notified Scientigo that they would return 5,880,740 shares of Common Stock to Scientigo's treasury, cancel warrants that they owned which provided them with the right to purchase approximately 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock in Scientigo, resign from Scientigo's Board of Directors and seek to convert approximately $1,000,000 in demand notes due from Scientigo into shares of Scientigo's Series A Preferred Stock. The purpose of the proposed transactions was to restructure the capitalization of Scientigo so that it could more readily raise additional capital needed to continue management's efforts to monetize the value of Scientigo's intellectual property portfolio. Mr. Goldstein returned 2,940,370 shares of Common Stock, cancelled warrants to purchase 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock (held jointly by Messrs. Goldstein and Hammer) and converted $701,786 of indebtedness into shares of Scientigo's Series A Preferred Stock effective April 22, 2005. Mr. Hammer was unable to return his shares of Common Stock to Scientigo because they were pledged as collateral for the repayment of his indebtedness. Therefore, Scientigo's bank debt of approximately $1,250,000 was assumed by Mr. Hammer in exchange for a note payable from Scientigo effective December 2004. At that time, Scientigo was released from such bank debt. This new note provided for interest only, at LIBOR plus 2.75%, through the earlier of when Mr. Hammer returned 2,940,370 shares of Common Stock to Scientigo, but no later than April 30, 2005. Effective April 20, 2005, Scientigo and Mr. Hammer entered into an agreement which terminated earlier agreements and provided for the contribution of 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock to Scientigo by Mr. Hammer. In return, Scientigo agreed to lend Mr. Hammer $400,000 of the proceeds of the Note Offering for the purpose of discharging indebtedness of Mr. Hammer, enter into a loan agreement with Mr. Hammer as previously agreed to including the payment of approximately $150,000 of the $1,250,000 principal of such indebtedness and issue Mr. Hammer 262,238 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in payment of all other outstanding indebtedness of Scientigo to such stockholder. The $400,000 loan is being repaid out of the proceeds of the sale of a portion of the remaining shares of the Common Stock owned by Mr. Hammer and in any event is due not later than one (1) year from the date of such loan. All of such transactions were completed on May 31, 2005. In connection with these transactions, Mr. Hammer provided management with a proxy to vote his shares of Common Stock at the 2005 annual meeting of our stockholders. Neither Mr. Goldstein nor Mr. Hammer have any continuing interest in Scientigo other than as holders of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock.
 


During the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, we provided services through our E-commerce subsidiary to three companies owned by former directors and/or officers of the Company. All of the revenue from these services are now included in the loss from discontinued operations. The amount of revenue included in this loss from discontinued operations is $-0- and $1,162,691 from Gibraltar Publishing, Inc., for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. J&C Nationwide, Inc. and Cheapseats, Inc. revenues of $151,616 and $613,774 were also included in this loss from discontinued operations for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

At August 31, 2005, we had made payments totaling $81,090 on behalf of The Tag Group, Inc. in anticipation of the purchase of substantially all of their assets. These payments to various vendors will be deducted from the purchase price paid to The Tag Group, Inc. at the closing of the purchase transaction.

We previously leased office space to Gilbralter, owned by a former officer and director of Scientigo, in our former facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina. We no longer occupy the space and therefore no longer lease the space to Gilbralter.
