VERTICAL COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of the management of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 for share based payments to employees. In accordance with transition provisions under SFAS No. 148, the Company has adopted the prospective method for transitional recognition.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock, and the fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Because the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 123(R) were materially consistent under the Company’s equity plans, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or the Company’s results of operations.

Going Concern Uncertainty
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has suffered significant recurring operating losses, used substantial funds in its operations, and needs to raise additional funds to accomplish its objectives. Negative stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2007 was approximately $19 million. Additionally, at September 30, 2007, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $12.4 million (although it includes deferred revenue of approximately $2.1 million) and has defaulted or is delinquent on several of its debt obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
8


 
Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to attempt to secure funds through equity and/or debt instruments for its operations, expansion and possible acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, and/or other business combinations. The Company will require additional funds for its operations and to pay down its liabilities, as well as finance its expansion plans consistent with the Company’s anticipated changes in operations and infrastructure. In addition, the Company was awarded a judgment of $3,151,216 relating to the recent lawsuit won by the Company against Ross Systems Inc. (“Ross”). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional funds and that if such funds are available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will be able to turn into a profitable position and generate positive operating cash flow or collect on the Ross judgment. The condensed consolidated financial statements contain no adjustment for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Furthermore, the Company is exploring certain opportunities with a number of companies to participate in co-marketing of each other’s products. The Company is proceeding to license its intellectual property and filed suit for patent infringement against Microsoft (for more details, see Note 4, “Legal Proceedings”). The exact results of these opportunities are unknown at this time.

Note 2 - Common and Preferred Stock Transactions
 
In March 2007, Mountain Reservoir Corporation (“MRC”) and Victor Weber entered into a pledge agreement, whereby the MRC pledged 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to secure the principal payments and interest payments on the $300,000 Note and interest payments on the $200,000 Note. MRC is a corporation controlled by the W5 Family Trust. Mr. Wade, the President and CEO of the Company, is the trustee of the W5 Family Trust. Mr. Weber is the President and a Director of Government Internet Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and a member of CW International, LLC (“CWI”).

In April 2007, Luiz Valdetaro, on behalf of the Company, transferred 2,000,000 unrestricted shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Valdetaro to an officer of Tara Financial in exchange for waiving the defaults and extending the payment terms on notes payable in the amounts of $438,795, $350,560, $955,103 and $450,000 issued to Tara Financial by the Company, NOW Solutions, and Taladin in February 2006. Mr. Valdetaro is the Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Also in April 2007, in connection with the transfer, the Company entered into an indemnity and reimbursement agreement to reimburse Mr. Valdetaro with 2,000,000 shares within one year and pay for all costs associated with the transfer of shares to Tara Financial and the reimbursement of shares to Mr. Valdetaro.
 
In connection with a $40,000 loan from Clark Consulting Group, Inc. (“CCS”) to the Company, Mr. Valdetaro, on behalf of the Company, transferred 1,000,000 unrestricted shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Valdetaro to CCS. The Company is also obligated to arrange for a pledge of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to secure the loan. Mr. Valdetaro is the Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Also in April 2007, in connection with the transfer of shares to CCS, the Company entered into an indemnity and reimbursement agreement to reimburse Mr. Valdetaro with 1,000,000 shares within one year and pay for all costs associated with the transfer of shares to CCS and the reimbursement of shares to Mr. Valdetaro.

In April 2007, the Company and MRC entered into an indemnity and reimbursement agreement for transfer and pledges of shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, MRC loaned the Company 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company in order for the Company to meet current obligations concerning stock the Company has been obligated to issue and deliver. In connection with the loan of shares to the Company, the Company agreed to reimburse MRC with up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and pay for all costs associated with such transfer and the reimbursement of shares to MRC within one year. In addition, in the event that any of the shares of common stock of the Company pledged by MRC on behalf of the Company in connection with promissory notes issued by the Company (or its subsidiaries, as applicable) are sold to cover a default under the respective note, the Company agreed to reimburse MRC with a number of shares equal to the number of shares sold to cover the default under the respective note within 1 year, and to reimburse MRC for all costs associated with such sales and the reimbursement of shares to MRC related to such sales.

In April 2007, the Company issued 4,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the exercise of warrants and an agreement executed in 2006. All of the foregoing shares were previously accounted for in the 10-KSB Report for the period ended December 31, 2006.

Note 4 - Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is involved in the following ongoing legal matters:

In February 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit and a derivative action in New York Supreme Court Case against defendants Ross, Arglen, James Patrick Tinley (“Tinley”), and Garry Gyselen (“Gyselen”).  The Company filed a derivative action on behalf of its subsidiary NOW Solutions when Arglen refused to authorize a lawsuit against any parties who were alleged to have acted against the best interest of NOW Solutions.  In conjunction with the Company’s claim, NOW Solutions withheld its payments on the remaining $750,000 note that was due in February 2003 in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Ross against the unpaid maintenance fees and gave notice in February 2003 to Ross of NOW Solutions’ claim of offset.  NOW Solutions claimed a total amount of approximately $3,562,000 to offset against the note, plus other damages.  The Company’s original claims sought damages and equitable relief arising out of actions of the defendants constituting breach of contract, fraud, conspiracy and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with certain transactions entered into between Ross and NOW Solutions; Ross and Arglen; Arglen and NOW Solutions; Gyselen and NOW Solutions; and the Company and Arglen. This action concerns claims of breach of contract and indemnification for failure to pay adjustments at the closing on the sale of assets of Ross to NOW Solutions for prepaid maintenance fees and for related relief. In November 2003, the New York Supreme Court dismissed the claims against Ross and Tinley. The portion of the lawsuit involving Arglen and Gyselen was settled in December 2003 and, pursuant to the settlement, dismissed in February 2004.   The Company appealed the decision with regard to its claim for breach of contract for Ross’ failure to give the proper maintenance fee adjustment and related claims for offset and attorney’s fees.  On June 1, 2004, the appeal of the dismissal of the action against Ross was submitted to the court for decision.  On appeal, the claims against Ross were reinstated pursuant to the order of the Appellate Division, dated October 26, 2004. In November 2004, Ross filed an answer containing affirmative defenses in the Derivative Action. For information concerning the decision regarding this action and the trial regarding the action between NOW Solutions and Ross, please see Ross’ action against NOW Solutions below.

In March 2003, Ross commenced an action in New York Supreme Court, Westchester County, by filing a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint against NOW Solutions to collect the note payable in the amount of $750,000 plus 10% interest.  In August 2003, the New York Supreme Court denied the motion and dismissed Ross’ action without prejudice.  In October 2003, the motion of Ross for re-argument was denied.  Ross appealed the August 2003 court order, but subsequently abandoned its appeal.   The time for Ross to appeal has run. Consequently, no further action will be had on this matter.

In December 2003, the Company settled its arbitration and litigation with Arglen, a minority partner of NOW Solutions, pursuant to the 2003 Settlement which pertains to issues related to NOW Solutions.  The 2003 Settlement resolved various allegations by the Company and Arglen concerning violations of NOW Solutions’ Operating Agreement.  The arbitration has been dismissed and any actions with respect to Arglen and Gary Gyselen and the Company and its related parties, including NOW Solutions, were also dismissed, except that the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County retained jurisdiction regarding the terms of the settlement between the parties.  In February 2004, the Company completed the settlement with Arglen. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company purchased Arglen’s interest in NOW Solutions for $1.4 million as follows: (a) $800,000, which was paid at the closing and (b) $600,000, pursuant to a non-interest bearing secured promissory note providing for payments of $200,000 in April 2004, $100,000 in June 2004, and $300,000 in September 2004, which was issued at closing. When the Company did not make the April 2004 payment, the Company began accruing interest at the rate of 10% from the inception of the note. In addition, at closing, the Company cancelled 80,763,943 warrants held by Arglen and issued to Arglen 20,000,000 unregistered shares of the common stock of the Company (at a fair market value of $280,000), which is subject to a lock-up agreement. The Company’s purchase of Arglen’s interest resulted in the Company recognizing $1,680,000 of goodwill, which was written-off in 2004. In December 2004, the Company recorded the expense of issuing 5,000,000 unregistered shares to Arglen at a fair market value of $82,273, which was based on an average share price during 11 days of August 2004. These shares were issued pursuant to the settlement agreement with Arglen whereby the Company was obligated to issue 5,000,000 unregistered shares of common stock of the Company to Arglen, due to its failure to file a registration statement on Form SB-2 within 180 days from the closing date of the settlement in February 2004. In March 2005, the Company issued these 5,000,000 shares to Arglen. The note is in default. In August 2004, Arglen obtained a default judgment in Los Angeles court for the outstanding principal, plus attorney’s fees and interest at the rate of 10% per annum. In April 2005, Arglen filed a Notice of Filing a Foreign Judgment in Tarrant County, Texas. In August 2005, the Company entered into a Payout Agreement with Arglen allowing payout terms to the Company and pursuant to which the Company agreed to enter into the Agreed Judgment. The Agreed Judgment and Payout Agreement were entered into concerning a California judgment and Arglen's notice of Filing a Foreign Judgment in Tarrant County, Texas, which were in connection with the 2003 Settlement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreed Judgment and the Payout Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Arglen a total of $713,489, which includes the following amounts: (a) $600,000 in principal on the promissory note issued by the Company pursuant to the 2003 Settlement, (b) the accrued post-judgment interest on the California judgment from September 4, 2004 through September 15, 2005, at the rate of 10% per annum, which equals $61,989, and (c) attorney's fees incurred for the California and Texas judgment actions which were approximately $51,500. Pursuant to the terms of the Payout Agreement, the Company began making monthly interest payments on the amounts specified above of $5,945, beginning on September 15, 2005, which will be replaced by monthly payments of $25,000 or 10% of the Company's new sales, whichever is greater, beginning on February 15, 2006 until the remainder of the $713,489 is paid. In accordance with the Payout Agreement, Arglen shall not execute the Agreed Judgment so long as the Company continues to make its payments as agreed.

In March 2004, Ross commenced an action in the New York Supreme Court by filing a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint against NOW Solutions to collect the note payable in the amount of $750,000 plus 10% interest and attorneys fees.  NOW Solutions filed its opposition to Ross’ motion, which was submitted to the court for decision on May 20, 2004.  NOW Solutions opposed the Ross motion and, on October 7, 2004, the Court ruled in favor of NOW Solutions and denied the motion for summary judgment. Pursuant to New York State law, in the event a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint is denied, the action continues and the pleadings supporting the motion are deemed to constitute the complaint. Accordingly, NOW Solutions filed an answer containing affirmative defenses and nine (9) counterclaims against Ross. The affirmative defenses asserted by NOW Solutions include the same grounds which comprise the causes of action against Ross in the Derivative Action, namely Ross’ breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement as a result of its failure to credit NOW Solutions with adjustments at closing in an amount not less than $3,562,201. All of the counterclaims asserted by NOW Solutions against Ross relate to the Asset Purchase Agreement and Ross’ breaches thereof. The counterclaims include: (i) breach of the covenant not to compete, whereby NOW Solutions seeks damages in excess of $10,000,000; (ii) breach of the covenant to deliver all assets to NOW Solutions at closing, whereby NOW Solutions seeks damages in an amount not less than $300,000; (iii) breach of a certain Transitional Services Agreement (executed in conjunction with the Asset Purchase Agreement), whereby NOW Solutions seeks damages in an amount not less than $73,129; and (iv) reasonable attorney’s fees. In December 2004, Ross filed a motion to dismiss two of NOW Solutions’ nine counterclaims: one which alleges that Ross and CDC Corporation used Ross to breach a covenant not to compete and the second which requested that Ross be enjoined from further competition with NOW Solutions in violation of the covenant. In February 2005, Ross’ motion was granted. Thereafter, NOW Solutions filed a motion to vacate the default, which motion was denied over the objections of NOW Solutions. NOW Solutions has filed a notice of appeal of this decision. NOW Solutions’ remaining counterclaims remain unaffected. In May 2006, NOW Solutions filed a motion for summary judgment in the derivative action in favor of NOW Solutions and against Ross on the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh causes of action seeking damages in excess $4,137,788 plus attorney’s fees. In addition, NOW Solutions’ motion for summary judgment seeks to dismiss the first through thirteenth affirmative defenses of Ross. In May 2006, Ross filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to dismiss all claims of NOW Solutions in the derivative action. At that time Ross also filed a motion for summary judgment in the action of Ross v. NOW Solutions, Inc., seeking to dismiss certain counterclaims of NOW Solutions therein. In July 2006, the court held a hearing on all three summary judgment motions. The court rendered decisions on the motions on November 30, 2006. The court dismissed NOW Solutions’ sixth and seventh counterclaims in the NOW Solutions action, dismissed Ross’ affirmative defenses numbered first, second, fourth, and seventh through thirteenth in the Vertical action, and denied all other requests for relief. Trial commenced on both actions on March 20, 2007. On April 13, 2007, the court rendered decisions in both actions as follows: (1) In the action of Ross Systems, Inc. v. NOW Solutions, Inc. a directed verdict was granted (a) to Ross Systems on its claim for payment of the promissory note, net of certain offsets that the court found due to NOW Solutions on its first, second and fifth counterclaims, other than for the amount claimed due by NOW for maintenance fee adjustments due at the closing of the sale transaction between the parties, in the amount of $664,000; (b) to NOW Solutions on its first counterclaim for maintenance fee adjustments in the amount of $1,943,482; accordingly, NOW Solutions was awarded the net amount of $1,279,482 ($1,943,482-$664,000), plus statutory (simple) interest at 9% per annum from the date the claim accrued; and (c) to Ross Systems dismissing NOW’s fourth counterclaim against Ross for failure to deliver certain assets at closing. (2) In the action of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. v. Ross Systems, Inc., et. al., the court dismissed Vertical’s claim on behalf of NOW Solutions for maintenance fee adjustments, as moot in light of its directed verdict on this issue in the Ross Systems v. NOW Solutions action, and dismissed Ross’ defenses to the Vertical action and Ross’ claim for attorney fees therein. In the action of Ross Systems, Inc. v. NOW Solutions, Inc., NOW Solutions and Ross each filed motions for attorney's fees with the court in August 2007. In September 2007, the court awarded Now Solutions a judgment in the amount of $3,151,216, which consisted of $1,279,483 for Now Solutions’ claims (after deducting $664,000 for Ross’ claim), $912,464 in attorneys’ fees and expenses, and $865,361 of accrued interest. Now Solutions is currently seeking to collect the amounts due under the judgment. The judgment was entered on October 11, 2007.

In March 2004, Ross commenced an action in the Court of Chancery, State of Delaware by filing a summons and complaint against the Company, NOW Solutions and Arglen alleging a fraudulent transfer in connection with the Company’s payment of monies to Arglen pursuant to the settlement dated December 2003.  The Company and NOW Solutions have filed a motion to stay the Delaware action pending the resolution of the parties’ rights in Supreme Court, New York County and Appellate Division. Specifically, Ross seeks a judgment against the Company: (i) attaching the assets transferred to Arglen pursuant to the Settlement Agreement; (ii) enjoining the Company and NOW Solutions from making further transfers to Arglen pursuant to the Arglen Note; (iii) avoiding the transfers to the Company and Arglen or for judgment in the amount equivalent to the value of the asserts transferred to them pursuant to the Settlement Agreement; and (iv) appointing a receiver to take possession of the assets transferred to the Company and Arglen pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. In July 2004, the Company and NOW Solutions filed a motion to stay the Delaware Action pending the resolution of the parties’ rights in the Derivative Action and Ross Action. In October 2004, the motion was granted and the Delaware action has been stayed. This action is subject to dismissal; however, this action may be further stayed if Ross appeals the above decision and posts bond for the appeal.

In January 2005, PMM filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court to collect the outstanding balance of $23,974 due under the promissory note issued to them by the Company and for failure to pay fees for professional services in the amount of $89,930 rendered to the Company, plus interest. In March 2005, the Company filed a demurrer. In April 2005, the Company answered the complaint, asserting various legal defenses. In October 2005, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company issued a promissory note to PMM in the amount of $75,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2008, bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum, which shall be paid in equal monthly installments of $ 3,125, beginning February 1, 2006 for a period of 24 months. In connection with the settlement, the lawsuit was dismissed. The note is currently delinquent. Bill Mills is a Director of the Company and a partner of PMM. PMM is the successor entity to Parker Mills & Patel, LLP.

The IRS has a claim for unpaid Employment (Form 941) taxes and Federal Unemployment (Form 940) taxes for the period December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2005. As of August 27, 2006 the total tax, penalties and interest due was $313,839. In that matter, the Company appealed from a Notice of Intent to Levy served to collect this tax and on February 8, 2007, following a Due Process Hearing, the IRS determined that its decision to seek collection of the tax by levy was proper. On March 9, 2007, the Company filed an appeal of the IRS’s determination to the United States Tax Court. The Company hopes that the Court will hold that the IRS’s refusal to consider an Installment Agreement to pay the liability over several years was erroneous. There is no guarantee, however, that the Court will not sustain the IRS determination and will allow it to collect the tax, penalties and interest by levy.

On April 18, 2007, the Company filed suit for patent infringement against Microsoft Corp. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The Company claims that the Microsoft .Net System infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,826,744. On July 13, 2007, Microsoft filed an answer to the Company’s complaint, alleging various defenses and counterclaims. On August 2, 2007, the Company filed a reply to Microsoft’s defenses and counterclaims. The court has set trial for March 2009.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any pending matters may have a significant effect on the financial position, operations or cash flows of the Company. Also, the Company in the future may become involved in other legal actions that may have a significant effect on the financial position, operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
Note 6 - Stock Options & Warrants
 
Stock Option Plan

In December 1999, the Company established a stock option plan (the “Plan”) whereby the Company may grant both Incentive Stock Options (within the meaning of Section 422 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and non-statutory options. Under the Plan, the Company may issue up to 50,000,000 shares (adjusted post stock split). Most options issued are non-assignable, non-transferable, vest on the date of grant, and expire between 3 - 5 years from the date of grant.

Summary of Outstanding Employee Stock Options and Warrants

Below is a summary of outstanding stock options and warrants issued to employees and former employees of the Company through September 30, 2007.

In December 2001, the Company issued 5-year warrants to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to purchase a total of 20,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events
 

For the period from October 1, 2007 to November 15, 2007, warrants to purchase 572,222 shares of the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share expired.

For the period from October 1, 2007 to November 15, 2007, 950,000 unregistered shares of the common stock of the Company vested. These shares were issued pursuant to restricted stock agreements with employees of the Company and Now Solutions executed in 2005.
 
As of the Date of this Report for the period ended September 30, 2007, the Company has also determined that it currently has (i) the following shares of common stock issued, and (ii) outstanding instruments which are convertible into the shares of common stock indicated below in connection with stock options, warrants, and preferred shares previously issued by the Company:

997,619,672

Total Common Shares Outstanding or Accounted For/Reserved

In addition, the Company has $40,000 in outstanding debentures that it has issued to third parties.

Accordingly, given the fact that the Company currently has 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, the Company could exceed its authorized shares of common stock by approximately 84,000,000 shares if all of the financial instruments described in the table above were exercised or converted into shares of common stock (excluding the $40,000 of outstanding debentures noted above). The Company is currently investigating its options in order to present its shareholders, as soon as practicable, with a plan whereby the Company could meet all of its outstanding obligations without exceeding its authorized shares of common stock.

Results of Operations
 
Total Revenues. The Company had total revenues of $1,574,948 and $1,468,844 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in total revenue was $106,104 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 representing a 7% increase compared to the total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Of the $1,574,948 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and the $1,468,844 in the three months ended September 30, 2006, $1,574,948 and $1,467,628, respectively, was related to the business operations of Now Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
The total revenues primarily consist of software licenses, consulting and maintenance fees. The revenue from license and maintenance in the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $288,945 from the same period in the prior year, representing a 24% increase, due to increases in software license sales and contractual maintenance fees by Now Solutions.
 
Consulting revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2007, decreased by $141,139 from the same period in the prior year, which represented a 59% decrease, due to slow-downs in customer modifications, training needs and installations at new customers.
 
Other revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $41,702 from the same period in the prior year, which represented a 113% decrease. Other revenue is primarily billable travel time and reimbursable travel expenses. However, other revenue also includes foreign currency gains and losses and other income. The foreign currency loss in Canada and Brazil along with almost no reimbursable travel expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 caused the sharp decline.
 
The Company had total revenues of $4,344,552 and $4,643,769 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in total revenue was $299,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 representing a 5% decrease compared to the total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The total revenues primarily consist of software licenses, consulting and maintenance fees. The revenue from license and maintenance in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $94,509 from the same period in the prior year, representing a 3% increase, due to increases in maintenance revenues from current customers. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in new software licenses by Now Solutions when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Consulting revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $345,194, from the same period in the prior year, which represented a 51% decrease, due to slow-downs in customer modifications and installations at new customers.
 
Other revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $48,532 from the same period in the prior year, which represented a 46% decrease. Other revenue is primarily billable travel time and reimbursable travel expenses and decreases when consulting revenue decreases.

As of the date of the filing of this Report, the Company does not have sufficient funds available to fund its operations and repay its debt obligations under their existing terms. Therefore, the Company needs to raise additional funds through selling securities, obtaining loans, renegotiating the terms of its existing debt and/or increasing sales with its new products. The Company’s inability to raise such funds or renegotiate the terms of its existing debt will significantly jeopardize its ability to continue operations.

Going Concern Uncertainty
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has suffered significant recurring operating losses, used substantial funds in its operations, and needs to raise additional funds to accomplish its objectives. Negative stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2007 was approximately $19 million. Additionally, at September 30, 2007, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $12.4 million (although it includes deferred revenue of approximately $2.1 million) and has defaulted or is delinquent on several of its debt obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to attempt to secure funds through equity and/or debt instruments for its operations, expansion and possible acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, and/or other business combinations. The Company will require additional funds for its operations and to pay down its liabilities, as well as finance its expansion plans consistent with the Company’s anticipated changes in operations and infrastructure. In addition, the Company was awarded a judgment of $3,151,216 relating to the recent lawsuit won by the Company against Ross Systems Inc. (“Ross”). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional funds and that if such funds are available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will be able to turn into a profitable position and generate positive operating cash flow or collect on the Ross judgment. The condensed consolidated financial statements contain no adjustment for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Furthermore, the Company is exploring certain opportunities with a number of companies to participate in co-marketing of each other’s products. The Company is proceeding to license its intellectual property and filed suit for patent infringement against Microsoft (for more details, see Note 4, “Legal Proceedings”). The exact results of these opportunities are unknown at this time.
 
Market Risks
 
The Company anticipates that it will have activities in foreign countries in future periods. These operations will expose the Company to a variety of financial and market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. As of September 30, 2007, there are no material gains or losses requiring separate disclosure.
 
Dividends
 
The Company has outstanding Series A and Series C 4% Convertible Cumulative Preferred stock that accrue dividends at a rate of 4% on a semi-annual basis.

Also in April 2007, in connection with the transfer of shares to CCS, the Company entered into an indemnity and reimbursement agreement to reimburse Mr. Valdetaro with 1,000,000 shares within one year and pay for all costs associated with the transfer of shares to CCS and the reimbursement of shares to Mr. Valdetaro. Mr. Valdetaro is the Chief Technology Officer of the Company.

In April 2007, the Company and MRC entered into an indemnity and reimbursement agreement for transfer and pledges of shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, MRC loaned the Company 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company in order for the Company to meet current obligations concerning stock the Company has been obligated to issue and deliver to various parties.

Also in connection with the loan of 10,000,000 shares by MRC to the Company, the Company agreed to reimburse MRC with up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and pay for all costs associated with such transfer and the reimbursement of shares to MRC within one year. In addition, in the event that any of the shares of common stock of the Company pledged by MRC on behalf of the Company in connection with promissory notes issued by the Company (or its subsidiaries, as applicable) are sold to cover a default under the respective note, the Company agreed to reimburse MRC with a number of shares equal to the number of shares sold to cover the default under the respective note within 1 year, and to reimburse MRC for all costs associated with such sales and the reimbursement of shares to MRC related to such sales.
 
In July 2007, the Company agreed to pay $46,586 to Stephen Rossetti for a loan, with the principal bearing at 10% per annum and principal and interest due on demand. Mr. Rossetti is Executive Vice-President of Government Affairs, Chairman, CEO and Director of GIS, Director of NOW Solutions and an officer of Markquest, Inc.
 
In August 2007, the Company agreed to pay Victor Weber $30,400 to Victor Weber for a loan, with the principal bearing interest at 12% per annum and principal and interest due on demand. Mr. Weber is the President and a Director of GIS and a member of CWI.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and the deferred income tax asset allowance. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
Capitalized Software Costs
 
Software costs incurred internally in creating computer software products are expensed until technological feasibility has been established upon completion of a detailed program design. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized until the point that the product is ready for sale and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The Company considers annual amortization of capitalized software costs based on the ratio of current year revenues by product to the total estimated revenues by the product, subject to an annual minimum based on straight-line amortization over the product’s estimated economic useful life, not to exceed five years. The Company periodically reviews capitalized software costs for impairment where the fair value is less than the carrying value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, no costs were capitalized.
 
29

 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company began applying the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. During 2004, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (“SFAS No 142”), the Company determined that there was $1,760,000 impairment in goodwill, all of which was located in the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company determined that there was no impairment in goodwill, since all goodwill in the Company had been written-off.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Service revenue generated from professional consulting and training services are recognized as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue, including revenues bundled with original software product license revenues, are deferred and recognized over the related contract period, generally twelve months. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are designed to comply with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”) and with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued No 00-21, “Revenue Arrangement with Multiple Deliverables.”
 
Deferred revenue on maintenance contracts represent cash received in advance which is recognized over the life of the contract.
 
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition,” the Company recognizes revenue from license of computer software up-front provided that a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed, the software and related documentation have been shipped, there are no material uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, collection of resulting receivables is deemed probable, and no significant other vendor obligations exist.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS 123 for share based payments to employees. In accordance with transition provisions under SFAS 148, the Company has adopted the prospective method for transitional recognition.
 
Investments
 
Investments in entities in which the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. Investments in securities with a readily determinable market value in which the Company does not exercise significant influence, does not have control, and does not plan on selling in the near term are accounted for as available for sale securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 prescribes how the Company should recognize, measure and present in the Company’s financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to FIN 48, the Company can recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.  The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not require any restatement of the Company’s financial statements.

Risk Factors Affecting the Company’s Business, Operating Results and Financial Condition 

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this report. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
We Are in Default Under Substantially All Of Our Notes Payable, Certain Of Which Are Secured By Pledges Of Our Assets

As noted above under Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is currently in default under the terms of substantially all of its notes payable. While the terms of these notes vary, they typically permit the holder thereof to call the entire principal amount, plus accrued interest thereunder, due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default. Further, certain of these notes are secured by different assets of the Company, including Now Solutions’ assets which secure the Taladin note payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is uncertain at this time what action, if any, will be taken by the holders of these notes in light of these defaults. While the Company is attempting to cure these defaults, it can offer no assurances that such attempts will be successful. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We Have Historically Incurred Losses And May Continue To Do So In The Future

We have historically incurred losses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company had net losses applicable to common shareholders of $1,836,988 and $2,328,709, respectively. Future losses are likely to occur. Accordingly, we have and may continue to experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems because our operations are not profitable. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.

We Have Been Subject To A Going Concern Opinion From Our Independent Auditors, Which Means That We May Not Be Able To Continue Operations Unless We Obtain Additional Funding

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in connection with our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. This paragraph states that our recurring operating losses, negative working capital and accumulated deficit, the substantial funds used in our operations and the need to raise additional funds to accomplish our objectives raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to develop our business plan and to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to raise capital and to achieve improved operating results. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s Ability To Continue As A Going Concern Is Dependent On Its Ability To Raise Additional Funds And To Establish Profitable Operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has suffered significant recurring operating losses, used substantial funds in its operations, and needs to raise additional funds to accomplish its objectives. Negative stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2007 was approximately $19 million. Additionally, at September 30, 2007, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $12.4 million (although it includes deferred revenue of approximately $2.1 million) and has defaulted on several of its debt obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
31


 
Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to attempt to secure funds through equity and/or debt instruments for its operations, expansion and possible acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, and/or other business combinations. The Company will require additional funds for its operations and to pay down its liabilities, as well as finance its expansion plans consistent with the Company’s anticipated changes in operations and infrastructure. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional funds and that if such funds are available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will be able to turn into a profitable position and generate positive operating cash flow. The condensed consolidated financial statements contain no adjustment for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Generate Sufficient Revenues To Pay For The Expenses Of Our Operations
 
We believe that our success will depend upon our ability to generate revenues from our SiteFlash™ and Emily® technology products and other products we have marketing rights to, as well as increased revenues from NOW Solutions products, none of which can be assured. Our ability to generate revenues is subject to substantial uncertainty and our inability to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations and debt repayment could require us to curtail or suspend operations. Such an event would likely result in a decline in our stock price.

Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Obtain Additional Capital
 
The Company has funding that is expected to be sufficient to fund its present operations for three months. The Company, however, will need significant additional funding in order to complete its business plan objectives. Accordingly, the Company will have to rely upon additional external financing sources to meet its cash requirements. Management will continue to seek additional funding in the form of equity or debt to meet its cash requirements. The Company does not have any common stock available to issue to raise money. However, there is no guarantee the Company will raise sufficient capital to execute its business plan. In the event that the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, the Company’s business plan will have to be substantially modified and operations curtailed or ceased.

We Have A Working Capital Deficit, Which Means That Our Current Assets On September 30, 2007 Were Not Sufficient To Satisfy Our Current Liabilities On That Date
 
We had a working capital deficit of approximately $12.4 million at September 30, 2007, which means that our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $12.4 million (although it includes deferred revenue of approximately $2.1 million). Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted into cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on September 30, 2007 were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on that date.
 
Our Operating Results May Fluctuate Because Of A Number Of Factors, Many Of Which Are Outside Of Our Control
 
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include, among others:
 
·
the demand for our SiteFlash and Emily® technology;
 
·
the demands for Now Solutions’ emPath® product;
 
·
the level of usage of the Internet;
 
·
the level of user traffic on our Websites;
 
·
seasonal trends and budgeting cycles in sponsorship;
 
·
incurrence of costs relating to the development, operation and expansion of our Internet operations;
 
·
introduction of new products and services by us and our competitors;
 
·
costs incurred with respect to acquisitions;
 
·
price competition or pricing changes in the industry;
 
·
technical difficulties or system failures; and
 
·
general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the Internet and Internet media.
 
32

 
We May Have Difficulty Managing Our Growth And Integrating Recently Acquired Companies
 
Our recent growth has placed a significant strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources. To manage our growth, we must continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train, and manage our employee base. Any inability to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Acquisition transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including:
 
 
·
the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies;
 
·
the potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;
 
·
the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology or content and rights into our products and media properties;
 
·
the correct assessment of the relative percentages of in-process research and development expense which needs to be immediately written-off as compared to the amount which must be amortized over the appropriate life of the asset;
 
·
the failure to successfully develop an acquired in-process technology resulting in the impairment of amounts currently capitalized as intangible assets;
 
·
unanticipated expenses related to technology integration;
 
·
the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
 
·
the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel; and
 
·
the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses.
 
We may not be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions. Our failure to address these risks could negatively affect our business operations through lost opportunities, revenues or profits, any of which would likely result in a lower stock price.
 
Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Protect Our Proprietary Technology
 
Our success is dependent, in part, upon our ability to protect and leverage the value of our original SiteFlash and Emily® technology products and Internet content, as well as our trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, domain names and other proprietary rights we either currently have or may have in the future. Given the uncertain application of existing trademark laws to the Internet and copyright laws to software development, there can be no assurance that existing laws will provide adequate protection for our technologies, sites or domain names. Policing unauthorized use of our technologies, content and other intellectual property rights entails significant expenses and could otherwise be difficult or impossible to do given the global nature of the Internet and our potential markets.
 
Our Stock Price Has Historically Been Volatile, Which May Make It More Difficult For Shareholders To Resell Their Shares When They Choose To At Prices They Find Attractive
 
The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. The stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products and media properties by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable, and news reports relating to trends in our markets. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for Internet-related and technology-related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance.
 
Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be “Penny Stock,” Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements
 
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Penny stocks are stock:
 
33

 
·
With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
 
·
That are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange;
 
·
Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or
 
·
In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
 
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.

The Company Will Likely Experience Losses For the Foreseeable Future
 
Our lack of an extensive operating history makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that a comparison of our quarterly results is not meaningful. As a result, you should not rely on the results for any period as an indication of our future performance. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will generate significant revenues or that we will attain a level of profitability in the future. We currently intend to expand and improve our Internet operations, fund increased advertising and marketing efforts, expand and improve our Internet user support capabilities and develop new Internet technologies, products and services. As a result, we may experience significant losses on a quarterly and annual basis.
 
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
 
(A) 
 
Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures
 
The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report, have concluded that as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by the Company in Reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(B)
 
 Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
In March 2007, the Company hired David Braun as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and NOW Solutions. Ms. Pantermuehl, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company and NOW Solutions, has and will continue to provide accounting services to the Company and NOW Solutions, on a part-time basis, in exchange for remuneration.
 
In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there are no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is involved in the following ongoing legal matters:
 
In February 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit and a derivative action in New York Supreme Court Case against defendants Ross, Arglen, Tinley, and Gyselen.  The Company filed a derivative action on behalf of its subsidiary NOW Solutions when Arglen refused to authorize a lawsuit against any parties who were alleged to have acted against the best interest of NOW Solutions.  In conjunction with the Company’s claim, NOW Solutions withheld its payments on the remaining $750,000 note that was due in February 2003 in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Ross against the unpaid maintenance fees and gave notice in February 2003 to Ross of NOW Solutions’ claim of offset.  NOW Solutions claimed a total amount of approximately $3,562,000 to offset against the note, plus other damages.  The Company’s original claims sought damages and equitable relief arising out of actions of the defendants constituting breach of contract, fraud, conspiracy and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with certain transactions entered into between Ross and NOW Solutions; Ross and Arglen; Arglen and NOW Solutions; Gyselen and NOW Solutions; and the Company and Arglen. This action concerns claims of breach of contract and indemnification for failure to pay adjustments at the closing on the sale of assets of Ross to NOW Solutions for prepaid maintenance fees and for related relief. In November 2003, the New York Supreme Court dismissed the claims against Ross and Tinley. The portion of the lawsuit involving Arglen and Gyselen was settled in December 2003 and, pursuant to the settlement, dismissed in February 2004.   The Company appealed the decision with regard to its claim for breach of contract for Ross’ failure to give the proper maintenance fee adjustment and related claims for offset and attorney’s fees.  On June 1, 2004, the appeal of the dismissal of the action against Ross was submitted to the court for decision.  On appeal, the claims against Ross were reinstated pursuant to the order of the Appellate Division, dated October 26, 2004. In November 2004, Ross filed an answer containing affirmative defenses in the Derivative Action. For information concerning the decision regarding this action and the trial regarding the action between NOW Solutions and Ross, please see Ross’ action against NOW Solutions below.

In March 2003, Ross commenced an action in New York Supreme Court, Westchester County, by filing a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint against NOW Solutions to collect the note payable in the amount of $750,000 plus 10% interest.  In August 2003, the New York Supreme Court denied the motion and dismissed Ross’ action without prejudice.  In October 2003, the motion of Ross for re-argument was denied.  Ross appealed the August 2003 court order, but subsequently abandoned its appeal.   The time for Ross to appeal has run. Consequently, no further action will be had on this matter.

In December 2003, the Company settled its arbitration and litigation with Arglen, a minority partner of NOW Solutions, pursuant to the 2003 Settlement which pertains to issues related to NOW Solutions.  The 2003 Settlement resolved various allegations by the Company and Arglen concerning violations of NOW Solutions’ Operating Agreement.  The arbitration has been dismissed and any actions with respect to Arglen and Gary Gyselen and the Company and its related parties, including NOW Solutions, were also dismissed, except that the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County retained jurisdiction regarding the terms of the settlement between the parties.  In February 2004, the Company completed the settlement with Arglen. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company purchased Arglen’s interest in NOW Solutions for $1.4 million as follows: (a) $800,000, which was paid at the closing and (b) $600,000, pursuant to a non-interest bearing secured promissory note providing for payments of $200,000 in April 2004, $100,000 in June 2004, and $300,000 in September 2004, which was issued at closing. When the Company did not make the April 2004 payment, the Company began accruing interest at the rate of 10% from the inception of the note. In addition, at closing, the Company cancelled 80,763,943 warrants held by Arglen and issued to Arglen 20,000,000 unregistered shares of the common stock of the Company (at a fair market value of $280,000), which is subject to a lock-up agreement. The Company’s purchase of Arglen’s interest resulted in the Company recognizing $1,680,000 of goodwill, which was written-off in 2004. In December 2004, the Company recorded the expense of issuing 5,000,000 unregistered shares to Arglen at a fair market value of $82,273, which was based on an average share price during 11 days of August 2004. These shares were issued pursuant to the settlement agreement with Arglen whereby the Company was obligated to issue 5,000,000 unregistered shares of common stock of the Company to Arglen, due to its failure to file a registration statement on Form SB-2 within 180 days from the closing date of the settlement in February 2004. In March 2005, the Company issued these 5,000,000 shares to Arglen. The note is in default. In August 2004, Arglen obtained a default judgment in Los Angeles court for the outstanding principal, plus attorney’s fees and interest at the rate of 10% per annum. In April 2005, Arglen filed a Notice of Filing a Foreign Judgment in Tarrant County, Texas. In August 2005, the Company entered into a Payout Agreement with Arglen allowing payout terms to the Company and pursuant to which the Company agreed to enter into the Agreed Judgment. The Agreed Judgment and Payout Agreement were entered into concerning a California judgment and Arglen's notice of Filing a Foreign Judgment in Tarrant County, Texas, which were in connection with the 2003 Settlement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreed Judgment and the Payout Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Arglen a total of $713,489, which includes the following amounts: (a) $600,000 in principal on the promissory note issued by the Company pursuant to the 2003 Settlement, (b) the accrued post-judgment interest on the California judgment from September 4, 2004 through September 15, 2005, at the rate of 10% per annum, which equals $61,989, and (c) attorney's fees incurred for the California and Texas judgment actions which were approximately $51,500. Pursuant to the terms of the Payout Agreement, the Company began making monthly interest payments on the amounts specified above of $5,945, beginning on September 15, 2005, which will be replaced by monthly payments of $25,000 or 10% of the Company's new sales, whichever is greater, beginning on February 15, 2006 until the remainder of the $713,489 is paid. In accordance with the Payout Agreement, Arglen shall not execute the Agreed Judgment so long as the Company continues to make its payments as agreed.

In March 2004, Ross commenced an action in the New York Supreme Court by filing a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint against NOW Solutions to collect the note payable in the amount of $750,000 plus 10% interest and attorneys fees.  NOW Solutions filed its opposition to Ross’ motion, which was submitted to the court for decision on May 20, 2004.  NOW Solutions opposed the Ross motion and, on October 7, 2004, the Court ruled in favor of NOW Solutions and denied the motion for summary judgment. Pursuant to New York State law, in the event a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint is denied, the action continues and the pleadings supporting the motion are deemed to constitute the complaint. Accordingly, NOW Solutions filed an answer containing affirmative defenses and nine (9) counterclaims against Ross. The affirmative defenses asserted by NOW Solutions include the same grounds which comprise the causes of action against Ross in the Derivative Action, namely Ross’ breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement as a result of its failure to credit NOW Solutions with adjustments at closing in an amount not less than $3,562,201. All of the counterclaims asserted by NOW Solutions against Ross relate to the Asset Purchase Agreement and Ross’ breaches thereof. The counterclaims include: (i) breach of the covenant not to compete, whereby NOW Solutions seeks damages in excess of $10,000,000; (ii) breach of the covenant to deliver all assets to NOW Solutions at closing, whereby NOW Solutions seeks damages in an amount not less than $300,000; (iii) breach of a certain Transitional Services Agreement (executed in conjunction with the Asset Purchase Agreement), whereby NOW Solutions seeks damages in an amount not less than $73,129; and (iv) reasonable attorney’s fees. In December 2004, Ross filed a motion to dismiss two of NOW Solutions’ nine counterclaims: one which alleges that Ross and CDC Corporation used Ross to breach a covenant not to compete and the second which requested that Ross be enjoined from further competition with NOW Solutions in violation of the covenant. In February 2005, Ross’ motion was granted. Thereafter, NOW Solutions filed a motion to vacate the default, which motion was denied over the objections of NOW Solutions. NOW Solutions has filed a notice of appeal of this decision. NOW Solutions’ remaining counterclaims remain unaffected. In May 2006, NOW Solutions filed a motion for summary judgment in the derivative action in favor of NOW Solutions and against Ross on the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh causes of action seeking damages in excess $4,137,788 plus attorney’s fees. In addition, NOW Solutions’ motion for summary judgment seeks to dismiss the first through thirteenth affirmative defenses of Ross. In May 2006, Ross filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to dismiss all claims of NOW Solutions in the derivative action. At that time Ross also filed a motion for summary judgment in the action of Ross v. NOW Solutions, Inc., seeking to dismiss certain counterclaims of NOW Solutions therein. In July 2006, the court held a hearing on all three summary judgment motions. The court rendered decisions on the motions on November 30, 2006. The court dismissed NOW Solutions’ sixth and seventh counterclaims in the NOW Solutions action, dismissed Ross’ affirmative defenses numbered first, second, fourth, and seventh through thirteenth in the Vertical action, and denied all other requests for relief. Trial commenced on both actions on March 20, 2007. On April 13, 2007, the court rendered decisions in both actions as follows: (1) In the action of Ross Systems, Inc. v. NOW Solutions, Inc. a directed verdict was granted (a) to Ross Systems on its claim for payment of the promissory note, net of certain offsets that the court found due to NOW Solutions on its first, second and fifth counterclaims, other than for the amount claimed due by NOW for maintenance fee adjustments due at the closing of the sale transaction between the parties, in the amount of $664,000; (b) to NOW Solutions on its first counterclaim for maintenance fee adjustments in the amount of $1,943,482; accordingly, NOW Solutions was awarded the net amount of $1,279,482 ($1,943,482-$664,000), plus statutory (simple) interest at 9% per annum from the date the claim accrued; and (c) to Ross Systems dismissing NOW’s fourth counterclaim against Ross for failure to deliver certain assets at closing. (2) In the action of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. v. Ross Systems, Inc., et. al., the court dismissed Vertical’s claim on behalf of NOW Solutions for maintenance fee adjustments, as moot in light of its directed verdict on this issue in the Ross Systems v. NOW Solutions action, and dismissed Ross’ defenses to the Vertical action and Ross’ claim for attorney fees therein. In the action of Ross Systems, Inc. v. NOW Solutions, Inc., NOW Solutions and Ross each filed motions for attorney's fees with the court in August 2007.

In March 2004, Ross commenced an action in the Court of Chancery, State of Delaware by filing a summons and complaint against the Company, NOW Solutions and Arglen alleging a fraudulent transfer in connection with the Company’s payment of monies to Arglen pursuant to the settlement dated December 2003.  The Company and NOW Solutions have filed a motion to stay the Delaware action pending the resolution of the parties’ rights in Supreme Court, New York County and Appellate Division. Specifically, Ross seeks a judgment against the Company: (i) attaching the assets transferred to Arglen pursuant to the Settlement Agreement; (ii) enjoining the Company and NOW Solutions from making further transfers to Arglen pursuant to the Arglen Note; (iii) avoiding the transfers to the Company and Arglen or for judgment in the amount equivalent to the value of the asserts transferred to them pursuant to the Settlement Agreement; and (iv) appointing a receiver to take possession of the assets transferred to the Company and Arglen pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. In July 2004, the Company and NOW Solutions filed a motion to stay the Delaware Action pending the resolution of the parties’ rights in the Derivative Action and Ross Action. In October 2004, the motion was granted and the Delaware action has been stayed. This action is subject to dismissal; however, this action may be further stayed if Ross appeals the above decision and posts bond for the appeal.

In January 2005, PMM filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court to collect the outstanding balance of $23,974 due under the promissory note issued to them by the Company and for failure to pay fees for professional services in the amount of $89,930 rendered to the Company, plus interest. In March 2005, the Company filed a demurrer. In April 2005, the Company answered the complaint, asserting various legal defenses. In October 2005, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company issued a promissory note to PMM in the amount of $75,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2008, bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum, which shall be paid in equal monthly installments of $ 3,125, beginning February 1, 2006 for a period of 24 months. In connection with the settlement, the lawsuit was dismissed. The note is currently delinquent. Bill Mills is a Director of the Company and a partner of PMM. PMM is the successor entity to Parker Mills & Patel, LLP.

The IRS has a claim for unpaid Employment (Form 941) taxes and Federal Unemployment (Form 940) taxes for the period December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2005. As of August 27, 2006 the total tax, penalties and interest due was $313,839. In that matter, the Company appealed from a Notice of Intent to Levy served to collect this tax and on February 8, 2007, following a Due Process Hearing, the IRS determined that its decision to seek collection of the tax by levy was proper. On March 9, 2007, the Company filed an appeal of the IRS’s determination to the United States Tax Court. The Company hopes that the Court will hold that the IRS’s refusal to consider an Installment Agreement to pay the liability over several years was erroneous. There is no guarantee, however, that the Court will not sustain the IRS determination and will allow it to collect the tax, penalties and interest by levy.

On April 18, 2007, the Company filed suit for patent infringement against Microsoft Corp. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

On July 13, 2007, Microsoft filed an answer to the Company’s complaint, alleging various defenses and counterclaims. On August 2, 2007, the Company filed a reply to Microsoft’s defenses and counterclaims. The court has set trial for March 2009.

Reports on Form 8-K:
 
On March 5, 2007, the Company closed two series of transactions having the effect of amending the sublicense agreement between the Company and its subsidiaries and CWI and obtaining financing from Mr. Weber to secure exclusive rights for the Company and CWI to distribute StatePointPlus® (a software product owned by TrueBaseline) to government agencies and the healthcare industry in the United States and Canada and to all users in Brazil. 
 
In order to obtain the exclusive rights for StatePointPlus®, Mr. Weber made payments of $500,000 to TrueBaseline on behalf of the Company and CWI. In order to maintain the exclusive rights, CWI and the Company must make certain additional payments by July 31, 2008. Thereafter, the Company must make certain average monthly minimum payments to TrueBaseline, which increase on a yearly basis, in order to retain the partial exclusivity rights during the term of the Sublicense Agreement.
 
For the territory of Italy, the Company also obtained the rights to distribute IA to all users in the health care industry and all users in any federal, state and local government agencies or their equivalents in Italy. In addition, the Company acquired from CWI partial exclusivity rights for a security access management software program that functions as an ID verification system. The Company has the exclusive rights to distribute SAM to all users in government agencies and the healthcare and casino industries in the United States and Canada. In order to retain these exclusivity rights for SAM and for IA in Italy, the Company must achieve minimum monthly gross revenues (for SAM and IA in Italy, as applicable), which increase on a yearly basis during the term of the Sublicense Agreement.
 
In connection with the $500,000 payment of fees by Mr. Weber to obtain the partial exclusivity rights for StatePointPlus®, the Company issued an additional note payable in the amount of $300,000 (the “$300,000 Note”) to Mr. Weber. In addition, the payment terms of the $200,000 Note payable (the “$200,000 Note”) issued on October 24, 2006 by the Company to Mr. Weber were extended for an additional 60 days. Both the $200,000 Note and the $300,000 Note may be paid from certain revenues derived from StatePointPlus® by CWI and the Company if and to the extent such funds are available. Accrued interest shall be paid on a monthly basis by the Company, or from revenues derived from StatePointPlus® if such funds are available. To secure the principal payments and interest payments on the $300,000 Note and interest payments on the $200,000 Note, MRC pledged 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. MRC is a corporation controlled by the W5 Family Trust. Mr. Wade, the President and CEO of the Company, is the trustee of the W5 Family Trust. Mr. Weber is the President and a Director of Government Internet Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and a member of CWI.

On September 11, 2007, the New York Supreme Court awarded attorney's fees in the amount of $912,464 to Now Solutions (the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) in the action of Ross Systems, Inc. v. NOW Solutions, Inc. The award was made pursuant to motions for attorneys' fees filed in August 2007 by Now Solutions and Ross Systems, Inc.
 
Now Solutions is in the process of entering the judgment in the total amount of $2,191,946, plus statutory (simple) interest at 9% per annum from the date the claim accrued. (Subsequent to the filing of the foregoing 8-K, the judgment was entered on October 11, 2007).
