NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1-
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2007 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I was incorporated in Delaware on May 26, 2005, and was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. From inception through October 24, 2006, Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I, was engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing.
 
On May 17, 2006, Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I entered into a letter of intent with InferX Corporation, a privately-held Virginia corporation (“InferX Virginia”), with respect to entering into a merger transaction relating to bridge financing for InferX Virginia and the acquisition of and merger with InferX Virginia. The transaction closed on October 24, 2006. Following the merger, Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I effected a short-form merger of InferX Virginia with and into Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I, pursuant to which the separate existence of InferX Virginia terminated and Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I changed its name to InferX Corporation (“InferX” or the “Company”).
 
The transaction was recorded as a recapitalization under the purchase method of accounting, as InferX became the accounting acquirer. The reported amounts and disclosures contained in the consolidated financial statements are those of InferX Corporation, the operating company.

NOTE 1-
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
 
InferX was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1999. On December 31, 2005, InferX and Datamat Systems Research, Inc. (“Datamat”), a company incorporated in 1992 under the corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”). InferX and Datamat had common majority ownership and directors. The financial statements herein reflect the combined entity, and all intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. As a result of the Merger, InferX merged with and into Datamat, the surviving entity. Upon completion, Datamat changed its name to InferX Corporation.
 
InferX was formed to develop and commercially market computer applications software systems that were initially developed by Datamat with grants from the Missile Defense Agency. Datamat was formed as a professional services research and development firm, specializing in the Department of Defense. The Company currently provides services and software to the United States government, and is in process of formalizing business plans that will enable them to provide software and services to commercial entities as well.
 
Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the Company has incurred a loss of $622,757 and $399,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively, and has a working capital deficiency of $1,288,629 as of March 31, 2008. The principal reasons for the recurring losses is due to the Company’s changed focus on developing its products for the commercial markets as it transitions away from the less profitable government services market. The Company expects the negative cash flow from operations to continue its trend through the next six months until proposals that are in process become executed agreements and revenue is recognized from these agreements. These factors raise significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
Management’s plans to address these conditions include continued efforts to obtain government contracts as well as commercial contracts through expanding sources and new sales personnel, along with new technology, and the raising of additional capital through the sale of the Company’s stock.
 
The Company’s long-term success is dependent upon the obtaining of sufficient capital to fund its operations; development of its products; and launching its products to the worldwide market. These factors will contribute to the Company’s obtaining sufficient sales volume to be profitable. To achieve these objectives, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through public or private financings or other arrangements.
 
It cannot be assured that such financings will be available on terms attractive to the Company, if at all. Such financings may be dilutive to existing stockholders and may contain restrictive covenants.

NOTE 1-
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
 
Going Concern (Continued)
 
The Company is subject to certain risks common to technology-based companies in similar stages of development. Principal risks to the Company include uncertainty of growth in market acceptance for its products; history of losses in recent years; ability to remain competitive in response to new technologies; costs to defend, as well as risks of losing patent and intellectual property rights; reliance on limited number of suppliers; reliance on outsourced manufacture of its products for quality control and product availability; uncertainty of demand for its products in certain markets; ability to manage growth effectively; dependence on key members of its management; and its ability to obtain adequate capital to fund future operations.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 2-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
 
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables as well as historical collection information. Credit is granted to substantially all customers on an unsecured basis. In determining the amount of the allowance, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Management has determined that as of March 31, 2008, an allowance of $2,364 is required.
 
Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years). Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Computer Software Development Costs
 
During 2007 and 2006, the Company capitalized certain software development costs. The Company capitalizes the cost of software in accordance with SFAS 86 once technological feasibility has been demonstrated, as the Company has in the past sold, leased or otherwise marketed their software, and plans on doing so in the future. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop and market their privacy preserving software during the development process, including payroll costs for employees who are directly associated with the development process and services performed by consultants. Amortization of such costs is based on the greater of (1) the ratio of current gross revenues to the sum of current and anticipated gross revenues, or (2) the straight-line method over the remaining economic life of the software, typically five years. It is possible that those anticipated gross revenues, the remaining economic life of the products, or both, may be reduced as a result of future events. The Company has not developed any software for internal use. The Company commencing January 1, 2008, placed an additional $226,084 of software development from prior years into service, which is being amortized over a three year period.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $63,091 and $44,251 of amortization expense on its capitalized software costs, respectively.

NOTE 2-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates revenue from professional services rendered to customers as well as from application management support contracts with governmental units. The Company’s revenue is generated under time-and-material contracts and fixed-price contracts.
 
Time-and-Material Contracts
 
Time-and-material contracts revenue is generated whereby costs are generally incurred in proportion with contracted billing schedules and revenue is recognized as services are performed, with the corresponding cost of providing those services reflected as direct costs. The customers are billed in accordance with the contracts entered into. Such method is expected to result in reasonably consistent profit margins over the contract term.
 
Fixed-Price Contracts
 
Revenue from firm-fixed-price contracts is recognized upon achievement of the milestones contained in the contracts in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Revenue is not recognized until collectability is assured, which does not take place until completion of the particular milestone. Costs are recognized as services are performed.
 
The Company does not derive revenue from projects involving multiple revenue-generating activities. If a contract would involve the provision of multiple service elements, total estimated contract revenue would be allocated to each element based on the fair value of each element.
 
The amount of revenue allocated to each element would then be limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue for each element would then be recognized depending upon whether the contract is a time-and-materials contract or a fixed-price, fixed-time contract.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
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, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next interim period after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted these provisions as of January 1, 2006 and this adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s operations.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”) which requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments based on fair value. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company measured compensation expense for all of its share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. The Company has provided pro forma disclosure amounts in accordance with FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“FAS 148”), as if the fair value method defined by FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”) had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

The Company has elected to use the modified-prospective approach method. Under that transition method, the calculated expense in 2006 is equivalent to compensation expense for all awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award. The Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures when estimating the forfeiture rate.
 
The Company’s options issued in January 2008 were considered stock based compensation (see Note 7).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Concentrations
 
The Company has derived all of its revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 from one customer.
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. To date, accounts receivable have been derived from contracts with agencies of the federal government. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and no collateral is required.
 
Segment Reporting
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions. The Company believes that there is only one operating segment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For the notes payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to the Company for similar borrowings. For the warrants that are classified as derivatives, fair values were calculated at net present value using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate for debt instruments without conversion features applied to total future cash flows of the instruments.

Convertible Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity securities for indications requiring bifurcation, and separate accounting, for the embedded conversion feature. Generally, embedded conversion features, where the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is not within the control of the Company, are bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. Bifurcation of the embedded derivative instrument requires allocation of the proceeds first to the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument with the residual allocated to the debt instrument. The resulting discount to the face value of the debt instrument is amortized through periodic charges to interest expense using the Effective Interest Method.

NOTE 2-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Income Taxes
 
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
 
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has adopted FIN 48 for 2007, and they evaluate their tax positions on an annual basis, and has determined that as of March 31, 2008, no additional accrual for income taxes is necessary.
 
(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
 
Basic net (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)
 
In December 2006, the FASB Staff issued FSP EITF - 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“EITF 00-19-2”). EITF 00-19-2 addresses an issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements. EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. EITF 00-19-2 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Application of EITF 00-19-02 resulted in an adjustment in January 2007 reclassifying the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. The adjustment reduced the derivative liability by $1,031,703 and increased additional paid-in capital by $547,086 and increased retained earnings by $484,617 which was the cumulative-effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of this standard.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is determining the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces FASB SFAS 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control.  SFAS 141R will require an entity to record separately from the business combination the direct costs, where previously these costs were included in the total allocated cost of the acquisition.  SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date.  This compares to the cost allocation method previously required by SFAS No. 141.

SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize as an asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies, either contractual or non-contractual, if certain criteria are met.  Finally, SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize contingent consideration at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at that date.  This Statement will be effective for business combinations completed on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption of this standard is not permitted and the standards are to be applied prospectively only.  Upon adoption of this standard, there would be no impact to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously completed.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, “Use of a Simplified Method in Developing Expected Term of Share Options” (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 expenses the current view of the staff that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method discussed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share Based Payment”, (“SAB 107”), for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates. SAB 110 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SAB 110 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

At March 31, 2008, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
 
Net operating losses
 
1,579,283
 
         
Valuation allowance
   
(1,579,283
)
         
 
   -  

At March 31, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward in the amount of $4,644,951, available to offset future taxable income through 2028. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Overview
 
Our company was formed in May 2005 to pursue a business combination. On October 24, 2006, we acquired InferX Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“InferX Virginia”), and on October 27, 2006 we merged InferX Virginia into our company and changed our name to “InferX Corporation.” After the acquisition of InferX Virginia, we succeeded to its business as our sole line of business. InferX Virginia was formed in August 2006 by the merger of the former InferX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“InferX Delaware”), with and into Datamat Systems Research, Inc., a Virginia corporation and an affiliate of InferX Delaware (“Datamat”), pursuant to which Datamat was the surviving corporation and changed its name to “InferX Corporation.”
 
Datamat was formed in 1992 as a professional services research and development firm, specializing in technology for distributed analysis of sensory data relating to airborne missile threats under contracts with the Missile Defense Agency and other DoD contracts. InferX Delaware was formed in 1999 to commercialize Datamat’s missile defense technology to build applications of real time predictive analytics. The original technology was developed in part with grants by the Missile Defense Agency.
 
Historically, we have derived nearly all of our sales revenues under federal government contracts. Under these contracts, we performed research and development that enabled us to retain ownership of the intellectual property, which led to the creation of our current products. Due to the relatively small and uncertain margins associated with fixed price government contracts and the inherent limit of the market size, in fiscal 2002 we began to develop our software as a commercial product, concentrating on building specific applications that we believed would meet the needs of potential new customers. In fiscal 2003, we sold two commercial licenses. However, since fiscal 2004, all of our revenues have derived from government contracts. Currently, we have one contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We rely on historical experience and on other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances in making our judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that are complex and those that require significant judgments and estimates, including the following: recognition of revenue, capitalization of software development costs and income taxes.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include those of InferX and our wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

– 23 –


Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
 
We maintain cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables as well as historical collection information. Credit is granted to substantially all customers on an unsecured basis. In determining the amount of the allowance, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Management has determined that as of March 31, 2008, an allowance of $2,364 is required.
 
Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years). Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Computer Software Development Costs
 
During 2007 and 2006, we capitalized certain software development costs. We capitalize the cost of software in accordance with SFAS 86 once technological feasibility has been demonstrated, as we have in the past sold, leased or otherwise marketed our software, and plans on doing so in the future. We capitalize costs incurred to develop and market our privacy preserving software during the development process, including payroll costs for employees who are directly associated with the development process and services performed by consultants. Amortization of such costs is based on the greater of (1) the ratio of current gross revenues to the sum of current and anticipated gross revenues, or (2) the straight-line method over the remaining economic life of the software, typically five years. It is possible that those anticipated gross revenues, the remaining economic life of the products, or both, may be reduced as a result of future events. We have not developed any software for internal use. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $63,091 and $44,251 of amortization expense on our capitalized software costs, respectively. Commencing January 1, 2008, we placed an additional $226,084 of software development into service, which will be amortized over a three year period.
 
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
 
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We generate revenue from professional services rendered to customers as well as from application management support contracts with governmental units. Our revenue is generated under time-and-material contracts and fixed-price contracts.
 
– 24 –


Time-and-Material Contracts
 
Time-and-material contracts revenue is generated whereby costs are generally incurred in proportion with contracted billing schedules and revenue is recognized as services are performed, with the corresponding cost of providing those services reflected as direct costs. The customers are billed in accordance with the contracts entered into. Such method is expected to result in reasonably consistent profit margins over the contract term.
 
Fixed-Price Contracts
 
Revenue from firm-fixed-price contracts is recognized upon achievement of the milestones contained in the contracts in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Revenue is not recognized until collectability is assured, which does not take place until completion of the particular milestone. Costs are recognized as services are performed.
 
We do not derive revenue from projects involving multiple revenue-generating activities. If a contract would involve the provision of multiple service elements, total estimated contract revenue would be allocated to each element based on the fair value of each element.
 
The amount of revenue allocated to each element would then be limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue for each element would then be recognized depending upon whether the contract is a time-and-materials contract or a fixed-price, fixed-time contract.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
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, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next interim period after December 15, 2005. We adopted these provisions as of January 1, 2006, and this adoption did not have a material effect on our operations.
 
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”) which requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments based on fair value. Prior to January 1, 2006, we measured compensation expense for all share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. In the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we have provided pro forma disclosure amounts in accordance with FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“FAS 148”), as if the fair value method defined by FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”) had been applied to our stock-based compensation.
 
We have elected to use the modified-prospective approach method. Under that transition method, the calculated expense in 2006 is equivalent to compensation expense for all awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. We recognize these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award. We consider voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures when estimating the forfeiture rate.
 
Our warrants issued in the private placement in October 2006, were not stock based compensation. Our options issued in October 2007 were considered stock based compensation (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). Our options issued in January 2008 were considered stock based compensation.
 
– 25 –


Concentrations
 
We have derived all of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 from one customer. .
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. To date, accounts receivable have been derived from contracts with agencies of the federal government. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and no collateral is required.
 
Segment Reporting
 
We follow the provisions of SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the company in making internal operating decisions. We believe that there is only one operating segment.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For the notes payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to us for similar borrowings. For the warrants that are classified as derivatives, fair values were calculated at net present value using our weighted average borrowing rate for debt instruments without conversion features applied to total future cash flows of the instruments.
 
Convertible Instruments
 
We review the terms of convertible debt and equity securities for indications requiring bifurcation, and separate accounting, for the embedded conversion feature. Generally, embedded conversion features, where the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is not within our control, are bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. Bifurcation of the embedded derivative instrument requires allocation of the proceeds first to the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument with the residual allocated to the debt instrument. The resulting discount to the face value of the debt instrument is amortized through periodic charges to interest expense using the Effective Interest Method.
 
Income Taxes
 
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
 
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has adopted FIN 48 for 2007, and they evaluate their tax positions on an annual basis, and has determined that as of March 31, 2008, no additional accrual for income taxes is necessary.
 
(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
 
Basic net (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when we report a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
 
– 26 –

 
The Class A and Class B warrants were issued in October 2006 in the private placement however were not included as they would be considered anti-dilutive as we had a loss for this period.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Ther Company incurred no research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the perod ending March 31, 2007, $2121 of research and development costs were included in direct labor. In addition, research and development costs of $32,127 and $49,366 have been included in indirect labor and $183,548 and $104,782 have been included in direct labor and subcontractor costs for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2006, respectively.
 
Recent Issued Accounting Standards
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
In December 2006, the FASB Staff issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“EITF 00-19-2”). EITF 00-19-2 addresses an issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements. EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. EITF 00-19-2 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Application of EITF 00-19-02 resulted in an adjustment in January 2007 reclassifying the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. The adjustment reduced the derivative liability by $1,031,703 and increased additional paid-in capital by $547,086 and increased retained earnings by $484,617 which was the cumulative-effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of this standard.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment.
 
SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is determining the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
– 27 –


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces FASB SFAS 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R will require an entity to record separately from the business combination the direct costs, where previously these costs were included in the total allocated cost of the acquisition. SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date. This compares to the cost allocation method previously required by SFAS No. 141.
 
SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize as an asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies, either contractual or non-contractual, if certain criteria are met. Finally, SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize contingent consideration at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at that date. This Statement will be effective for business combinations completed on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted and the standards are to be applied prospectively only. Upon adoption of this standard, there would be no impact to our results of operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously completed. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, “Use of a Simplified Method in Developing Expected Term of Share Options” (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 expresses the current view of the staff that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method discussed in Staff Accouting Bulletin No. 107, “Share Based Payment", (“SAB107”), for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates. SAB 110 became effective for us on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SAB 110 is not expected to have a material impact on our final position.
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $371,000, an increase of approximately $171,000, or 86% from approximately $200,000 for the same period in 2006. This was a result of increased federal contracts related to the Company’s core competencies.
 
Direct costs for the year ended March 31, 2008 were $53,261 compared to $100,000 for the same period in 2007, an decrease of approximately $46,739 or 47%. Direct costs before capitalization of labor costs for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were approximately $118,524 in 2008 and $114, 941 during the same period in 2007. The increase in direct costs resulted primarily from increases related to additional contract requirements and additional costs incurred for further development of the Company’s proprietary predictive analytics software products.
 
Operating expenses, which include indirect labor, professional fees, advertising, consulting and general and administrative, increased approximately $174,852 from approximately $378,961 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to approximately $553,813 for the same period in 2008. This represents an increase of approximately 46%. The increase is the result of the following: an increase in indirect and overhead labor and fringes of approximately $94,178 resulting from costs related to an increase in staffing in 2008; an increase in professional services of approximately $20,135, consisting primarily of increased legal and filing costs related to public filings; an increase in share based compensation of approximately $149,852 as a result issued under the Company’s option plan and stock issued for services; and increase in General and Administrative costs of approximately $8,423; and a decrease in depreciation and impairment of approximately $9,863 due primarily to the 2007 impairment charge on the Company’s InferView product.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We had cash of approximately $40,000 at March 31, 2008 and a working capital deficit of approximately ($335,000). During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we used approximately $176,000 from our operations. Operations were funded primarily from the borrowings of promissory notes of $237,500.
 
In October 2006, we completed a private placement in which the investors paid $.50 per share of common stock, and also received one five-year warrant with an exercise price of $.50 and one five-year warrant with an exercise price of $.62. We sold 2,329,392 units in the private placement (including $362,196 in cancellation of indebtedness and accrued interest under outstanding bridge loans), resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $802,500. In April 2007, we and holders of our Class A warrants agreed to reduce the exercise price of 80% of the Class A warrants to $.25 per share for a period of two weeks. We received approximately $407,000 from the exercise of 1,629,513 warrants. In November 2007, the holders of our Class A warrants exercised an additional 444,879 warrants resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $222,000. In March 2008, we sold convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $237,500. These convertible notes accrue interest at the rate of 9.99% per annum and are convertible into our common stock at 50% of the closing bid price of the common stock on the date of conversion.
 
We will need to generate significant additional revenue to support our projected increases in staffing and other operating expenses, which we cannot give any assurance we will be able to accomplish. We are currently expending approximately $200,000 per month to support our operations, and under our current business plan, we would be expending approximately $250,000 per month by the end of fiscal 2008. Along with revenues from our existing contracts, we believe our existing capital is sufficient to fund our operations only through the second quarter of 2008. If we are unable to generate increased revenue or raise additional capital, it will be necessary for us to significantly reduce expenses to stay in business. Although we believe the additional capital we will require will be provided either through the exercise of warrants, debt and/or increased revenue, we cannot assure you that the warrants will be exercised, we can obtain debt at acceptable terms or that we can generate sufficient revenue to maintain projected operating levels. Accordingly, we may need to secure additional equity or debt financing which we cannot assure you would be available to us at prices that would be acceptable. Our failure to generate such revenue, reduce expenses or obtain necessary financing could impair our ability to stay in business and raises substantial doubt about our ability to remain as a going concern.

Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and which remain unremediated.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
During the last fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
