SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including statements under “Item 1. Business,” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the safe harbor under those statutes do not apply to companies such as InferX that issue penny stock.  Forward-looking statements include, among other things, business strategy and expectations concerning industry conditions, market position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or “believe” or similar expressions or the negatives thereof. These expectations are based on management’s assumptions and current beliefs based on currently available information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be correct. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K. Our operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could cause our actual results of operations to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

PART I
 
Item 1.   Business
 
We develop and market enterprise software that performs privacy preserving predictive analysis on computer databases. Predictive analytics is the analysis of historical and current information to identify trends and patterns to predict likely future outcomes. Our products simultaneously analyze data in multiple remote locations with disparate formats without the need to move the data to a central data warehouse, thereby preserving the privacy and security of the data. Our technology can be used to identify and predict risks and opportunities in near real time for many applications, including homeland security, fraud and intrusion detection, and customer relationship management, or CRM. For example, our technology could help identify high risk cargo containers, identify fraudulent insurance claims or identify opportunities for cross selling and customer retention.
 
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 software 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.
 
Recent Events
 
On March 16, 2009 we executed an agreement to merge with The Irus Group, a business intelligence and corporate performance management solution provider that provides planning an budgeting solutions to financial services firms and government organizations.  At the effective time of the merger, the InferX board of directors agrees to appoint Vijay Suri, The Irus Group President, as President and CEO of InferX and to have Vijay Suri fill a vacancy on our Board of Directors. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the issued and outstanding shares of The Irus Group common stock will be automatically converted into the right to receive 70% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, effectiveness of the merger agreement is conditioned upon (i) our restructuring existing debt by converting the existing debt and warrants to common stock with the intention of having no more than 57-60 million shares of our common stock outstanding prior to effecting a reverse split of not less than 1:10, (ii) our using its best efforts to reduce its accounts payable by 70%, (iii) Vijay Suri and Ray Piluso, executive employees of The Irus Group, each executing an employment agreement with us and (iv) additional customary closing conditions relating to the delivery of financial statements, closing certificates as to representations and warranties, and the delivery of any required consents or government approvals.  The merger is expected to be completed by June 30, 2009.

Corporate History
 
Our company was incorporated in Delaware in May 2005 under the name Black Nickel Acquisition Corp. I. From inception to October 2006, we were a “shell company” with no business or operations and only nominal assets. In October 2006, we acquired and merged with InferX Corporation, a Virginia corporation formed in 1992 (“InferX Virginia”), and succeeded to its business as our sole line of business. In connection with the merger, we changed our name to “InferX Corporation.”
 
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 through common ownership (“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 Department of Defense (“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.
 
Market Opportunity
 
We believe that the demand for predictive analytics technology, in general, has increased in the last several years. Moreover, the need for advanced predictive analytics to analyze data in multiple remote locations has significantly increased due to the heightened security concerns after the events of September 11, 2001 and the proliferation of databases across the intelligence community and federal agencies. Our key executives have been working with the federal government for several years and have gained insight into the need for advanced predictive analytics software and the required capabilities of that software, particularly within the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”). Prior to joining InferX, one of our key executives was tasked by the Office of the Inspector General to assess all of the analytics systems within DHS. His findings, some of which have been publicly released, show that there is a significant need for advanced predictive analytics technology that is privacy preserving and that analyzes data in multiple remote locations and predicts risks and opportunities in near real time. For example, DHS needs the ability to identify prospective terrorist threats by analyzing sensitive information contained in disparate databases maintained by different organizations, such as consumer and demographic information maintained by companies like Acxiom Corporation, consumer credit information maintained by companies like Experian and financial transaction information maintained by the United States Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), all without jeopardizing the secrecy of the underlying information.
 
In addition, our management has evaluated a number of activities where national and homeland security related concerns will require predictive analysis software. We believe that cargo security, particularly involving shipments through ports, as part of the international supply chain presents a need for predictive analytics software, with both government and private industry as potential purchasers of such software. Accordingly, we have developed a cargo security solution based on our technology that can simultaneously analyze data from manufacturers, distributors, shippers, port operators, customs authorities and others in the supply chain to identify shipments that pose a higher security risk and merit greater scrutiny or additional screening. We have completed and are currently marketing our cargo security solution.
 
As a result of the United States’ efforts, particularly through Customs and Border Protection under DHS, to secure the international supply chain and the need for the international community to adopt cargo security standards to ship cargo through U.S. ports, we believe that there will be a significant international market for our solution.

We believe our products have a broad application in many other verticals in the areas of fraud detection, risk analysis and customer retention. Specific examples of potential uses of our products are as follows:
 
 
Financial Services: Increase customer retention; optimization of cross selling; detection of money laundering; and fraud detection.
 
 
Insurance: Increase customer profitability; fraud detection; optimization of cross selling; and customer compliance.
 
 
Healthcare: Optimal treatment analysis; clinical drug trial analysis; analysis of medical images; and healthcare fraud and abuse detection.
 
 
Retail: Promotion effectiveness analysis; product placement analysis; optimization of cross selling; and sales force optimization.
 
Our Product Offerings
 
InferAgent®
 
Our flagship product is InferAgent. InferAgent was originally developed to analyze distributed sensor data from different locations for the Missile Defense Agency, an agency within the DoD. Lockheed Martin has successfully used InferAgent to analyze sensor data for a classified military project for target discrimination and acquisition.
 
InferAgent can analyze data in multiple geographic locations, in near real time without ever moving the data. InferAgent uses the Internet and private Intranets to analyze information from multiple locations. We use encrypted pointers to the data, which cannot be used to expose the data they represent, to move information across the network, thereby preserving the security and privacy of the databases.
 
As a result of the analysis, InferAgent can detect and predict risks and opportunities for both commercial and government customers. InferAgent is a generic solution that analyzes data in any structured data format. Based upon the trends and interrelations among the data, it can identify any kind of risk or opportunity that is relevant to the application.
 
For example, in national and homeland security applications, InferAgent could identify terrorism risks in the international supply chain – this is our cargo security application. InferAgent can analyze order data maintained by importers, customer order history and other data maintained by manufacturers, shipping manifests maintained by shipping companies, customer information maintained by freight forwarders. By analyzing these disparate databases using our technology, InferAgent can detect anomalies and other predictors of increased risk that would help port operators identify incoming shipments that should be subjected to increased scrutiny.
 
In the financial services sector, InferAgent could identify opportunities for cross selling or transactions that are likely tied to money laundering, fraud or other illegal activity. InferAgent can analyze large databases of consumer credit history and demographic information maintained by companies like Acxiom and Experian together with a company’s internal customer history database to help the company identify products or services it does not currently offer but that its customers would likely be interested in buying. Analyzing consumer credit history and demographic information together with financial transaction information maintained by FinCEN could detect suspicious transactions or individuals who are engaging in suspicious financial transactions.
 
We believe that InferAgent has placed us at the forefront of a new category of technology called “privacy preserving analytics.” Members of our management have attended two academic conferences focused on privacy preserving analytics and conducted research of competing solutions on the market in development. To our knowledge, none of our competitors has a product that can simultaneously analyze data in multiple locations while maintaining the security and privacy of the underlying information. With InferAgent, privacy is preserved because the data is not moved.

InferTextTM
 
Based on InferAgent’s distributed architecture, InferText is designed to analyze unstructured content, such as documents, email and other types of text. Unlike traditional, keyword search based approaches to unstructured content, InferText transforms unstructured content into a format that facilitates the discovery of meaningful relationships among documents. We launched the commercial release of InferText in December 2007.
 
InferClusterTM
 
Clustering refers to the partitioning of data into groups such that data within the same group are more similar to each other than data in different groups. Clustering makes it easier to recognize outliers and other anomalies in the data. We believe that this has become an increasingly essential data analysis task. InferCluster automatically identifies similarities and performs this clustering without the need for user intervention. For example, in the financial services industry, clustering could group wire transfers according to various characteristics – amount, country of origin, date – and by revealing anomalous transactions, lead to the identification of money laundering activity.
 
InferCluster is designed to automatically perform clustering on distributed data, which we believe no other clustering solution currently does. InferCluster uses the same distributed architecture as InferAgent. We launched the commercial release of InferCluster in December 2007.
 
Distributed Data Analytics Platform (D2A), used to concurrently analyze data using InferAgent, InferText  and InferCluster.
 
InferSearch , new product for providing new search capability for search of open source internet data (Mini context based Google type search with precision).

The Supply Chain Risk Assessment Application patent covers our methods of applying our technology to cargo risk assessment.
 
Competition
 
The market for our solutions is intensely competitive and is constantly changing. Our competitors vary in the size and scope of the products and services they offer. We encounter competition from a number of sources, including:
 
 
predictive modeling companies;
 
 
CRM solutions providers;
 
 
business intelligence solutions providers; and
 
 
software companies supplying modeling, rules or analytic development tools.
 
Companies such as SAS Institute Inc., SPSS Inc., Fair Isaac Corporation, Angoss Software Corp., Megaputer Intelligence, Inc. and Insightful Corporation offer stand-alone software systems that perform predictive analysis on single desktops and servers. InferAgent can operate on multiple, geographically-dispersed computers.
 
Oracle Corporation and Teradata  provide analytical tools that only operate with their respective proprietary database products. InferAgent can operate with multiple databases, regardless of the underlying database format.
 
Companies such as Infoglide Software Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, Knowledge Computing Corporation, Exegy, Inc. and Dulles Research, LLC, market software that can perform discovery over networks and distributed data sources. However, we believe that their software has no predictive analytic capabilities and generally provides only for discrete pattern matching, such as matching of names, phone numbers, IP addresses, etc.
 
We believe our products offer the following advantages compared to our competition:
 
 
access and mine remote data
 
 
provide predictive analysis where many future risks and opportunities can be identified
 
 
work with multiple databases in different formats
 
 
integration of both structured and unstructured analysis
 
 
preserve the privacy of data
 
 
maintain the security and ownership of data
 
 
eliminate the need for creating data warehouses
 
 
provide near real time analysis and prediction
 
We believe access to additional data sources beyond those in a data warehouse provides a better basis for more accurate analysis. Also, we believe that the elimination of the need for a data warehouse will result in cost and time savings and reduce on-going support and maintenance expenses. Accordingly, we believe using our systems can result in a significant return on investment.

Sales and Marketing
 
We have used outside consultants to assist us in developing our marketing and collateral material, branding and Web design and content creation. We also use outside consultants to help develop market and media awareness campaigns along with public relations strategies. We are not substantially dependent on our relationship with these outside consultants to accomplish our marketing plans.
 
We have positioned InferX as a leading provider of Privacy Preserving Real-Time Analytics solutions. With the assistance of our public relations firm, we have positioned key members of InferX management as industry experts where we provide expert analysis to the technical and media communities.
 
Although we currently have no contractual relationship, we have also worked with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, both of which we believe have substantial credibility within DHS. Both companies use our software, and we believe our previous work with them will allow us to explore potential business opportunities with them on possible future DHS contracts at a minimal cost. We also have developed a network of business development and marketing professionals who work directly with large systems integrators, such as Raytheon, General Dynamics, SAIC and others.
 
Our sales strategy is to identify potential customers by targeting entities where there is a need for advanced analyses and data privacy is a significant concern. Our early focus is on the following:
 
 
1.
components of DHS that are analyzing intelligence, detecting terrorist activities and detecting criminal activities or patterns;
 
 
2.
other U.S. federal government departments where focus is on:
 
 
·
detecting fraud, waste and abuse;
 
 
·
detecting criminal activities; or
 
 
·
improving service or performance;
 
 
3.
international supply chain participants, such as importers, sea carriers, sea ports and terminal operators;
 
 
4.
the financial community in need of advanced CRM solutions; and
 
 
5.
commercial enterprises that we expect would be early adopters of advanced analytics technologies, such as financial services and insurance firms.
 
In 2008 we focused on building relationships with channel partners that are leading systems integrators, application developers and platform partners, to generate sales to high-volume data content owners both domestically and abroad. The channel partners will be compensated by substantial product discounts that are consistent in the industry.  We entered into a memorandum of understanding in November 2008 to work with The Irus Group.
 
Through 2009, we plan to expand our sales and marketing force to seven employees.
 
Customers
 
Government contracts are currently our sole source of revenue. For the past two years, payments under contracts with the Missile Defense Agency have accounted for substantially all of our revenues from operations. We expect that government contracts will continue to be a significant source of our revenues for the foreseeable future.

 
8

 

Research and Development
 
We have developed a company wide research and development plan which focuses on continued development and enhancement of the features and performance of our current products. We also have a detailed plan for the development of new product offerings. Three of our eight employees devote at least a portion of their time to research and development activities. During the last two fiscal years, our employees devoted approximately 25% of their time to research and development activities.  Historically, our research and development has been performed pursuant to government contracts under which we retained the intellectual property rights to the technology.
 
Employees
 
We have five employees and two consultants: three full-time employees, two of whom devote at least a portion of their time to sales and marketing and two part time executive employees, and one part-time administrative employee. Two of our employees are members of management.  To the best of our knowledge, we are in compliance with local prevailing wage, contractor licensing and insurance regulations. None of our employees is represented by any collective bargaining agreement, and our relationship with our employees is good.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or future operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Operating Results and Business
 
The likelihood of successfully implementing our business plan cannot be predicted from our limited operating history.
 
Although our predecessor entity commenced operations in January 1992, we entered our current business based on software product sales in April 2000 and achieved our first sale in 2003. Since then, our software product sales have totaled less than $1,000,000. Therefore, there is limited historical basis on which to determine whether we will be successful in implementing our business plan.
 
The market for our products and services is new and evolving and a viable market may never develop or may take longer to develop than we anticipate.
 
Our software and services represent what we believe is a novel entry in an emerging market, and we do not know the extent to which our targeted customers will want to purchase them. The development of a viable market for our products may be impacted by many factors which are out of our control, including customer reluctance to try new products and services and the existence and emergence of products and services marketed by better-known competitors.
 
If a viable market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may be unable to recover the losses we will have incurred to develop our products and services and may be unable to achieve profitability.
 
We operate in a competitive market which could constrain our future growth and profitability.
 
We operate in a competitive environment, competing for customers with software companies, consulting firms and others. Many of our competitors offer complimentary products and/or services that we do not offer. Moreover, some of our competitors are much larger than we are, have proven products and services and may have the marketing and sales capabilities to commercialize competing products and services more effectively than we can.

 
9

 

The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological changes, and our continued success will depend upon our ability to react to such changes.
 
The markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology. The introduction of products or services embodying new technology can render our existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable and can exert price pressures on existing products and services. It is critical to our success for us to be able to anticipate changes in technology and to successfully develop and introduce new, enhanced and competitive products and services on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that we will successfully develop new products or services or introduce new applications for existing products and services, that new products and applications will achieve market acceptance or that the introduction of new products, services or technological developments by others will not render our products and services obsolete. Our inability to develop products and services that are competitive in technology and price and meet customer needs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Our management controls a substantial percentage of our stock and therefore has the ability to exercise substantial control over our affairs.
 
As of the date of this filing, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned 4,843,463 shares, or approximately 36%, of our outstanding common stock in the aggregate. Because of the large percentage of stock held by our directors and executive officers, these persons could influence the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders.
 
The loss of our executive officers and certain other key personnel could hurt our business.
 
Our success wholly depends upon the personal efforts and abilities of our Chairman of the Board, officers and other key personnel, B.K. Gogia, and Jerzy Bala. The loss of or unavailability of the services of either one of these two individuals would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and/or potential earning capacity.
 
We may not be able to hire and retain qualified technical personnel.
 
Competition for qualified personnel in the computer software industry is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Failure to attract qualified personnel could harm the proposed growth of our business. In addition, companies in our industry whose employees accept positions with competitors frequently claim that the competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices. We may receive such notices in the future as we seek to hire qualified personnel and such notices may result in material litigation and related disruption to our operations.
 
We may not be able to protect important intellectual property, and we could incur substantial costs defending against claims that our products infringe on the proprietary rights of others.
 
We currently have three patent applications pending and we have filed two provisional patents recently. While we believe that we have a proprietary position in component technologies for our products, our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technologies, processes and designs, to secure patents for the applications we have pending and to protect those patents that we may secure. We do not know whether any of our pending patent applications will be issued or, if issued, that the claims allowed are or will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology or processes. Even if all of our patent applications are issued and are sufficiently broad, our patents may be challenged or invalidated.

We could incur substantial costs in prosecuting or defending patent infringement suits or otherwise protecting our intellectual property rights. While we have attempted to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we do not know whether we have been or will be completely successful in doing so.
 
We may face liability claims from future customers if our software malfunctions or contains undetected defects.
 
Our products have in the past contained, and may in the future contain, undetected or unresolved errors when first introduced, as new versions are released, or otherwise. Despite extensive testing, errors, defects or failures may be found in our current or future products or enhancements after they have been installed by customers. If this happens, we may experience delay in or loss of market acceptance and sales, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation or increased service costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, because our products are designed to provide critical data analysis services, we may receive significant liability claims. Although we intend to obtain product liability insurance covering certain damages arising from implementation and use of our products, our insurance may not cover all claims sought against us. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. As a result, any such claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and business.
 
We must ensure the protection and privacy of customer data.
 
We rely on complex encryption algorithms and technology to secure customer data.  We believe our products protect the security and privacy of customer data by transmitting encrypted pointers to customer data, rather than the data itself, across the Internet and existing dedicated transmission lines.  However, if customer data is misappropriated or unintentionally disclosed as a result of an actual or perceived failure of our software, our reputation, and ultimately our business, would be seriously harmed, and we could face liability claims.
 
We currently are dependent on contracts with the federal government for all of our revenues.
 
Revenues derived from federal government contracts accounted for all of our revenues since fiscal 2004. We expect that government contracts will continue to be a significant source of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Our business generated from government contracts may be adversely affected if:
 
 
levels of government expenditures and authorizations for national and homeland security related programs decrease, remain constant or shift to programs in areas where we do not provide products and services;
 
 
we are prevented from entering into new government contracts or extending existing government contracts based on violations or suspected violations of procurement laws or regulations;
 
 
we are not granted security clearances that are required to sell our products or services or such security clearances are revoked; or
 
 
our reputation or relationship with government agencies is impaired.
 
Most of our contracts with the government, including our current contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs, contain standard provisions that provide for termination at the convenience of the government pursuant to which we are entitled to recover costs incurred, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed prior to termination.

 
11

 

If we fail to comply with complex procurement laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions.
 
We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of government contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we do business with government agencies and may impose added costs on our business. For example, we are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, which comprehensively regulate the formation, administration and performance of federal government contracts, and to the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations.
 
If a government review or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with government agencies, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a government may reform its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations that could be costly to satisfy or that could impair our ability to obtain new contracts.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
Currently, there is a limited trading market for our common stock, which may adversely impact your ability to sell your shares and the price you receive.
 
There is currently a limited trading market for our common stock and a more active trading market for our common stock may never develop or be sustained. The market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies, which may materially adversely effect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time. Furthermore, for companies such as us whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital. These factors may negatively impact your ability to sell shares of our common stock and the price you receive.
 
Our common stock is deemed to be a “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares.
 
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or another national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. Remaining subject to the penny stock rules should be expected to have an adverse effect on the 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.

 
12

 

We need to raise additional capital, but that capital may not be available.
 
Our existing capital is insufficient to fund our operations beyond the second quarter of 2009. We believe the anticipated revenues from potential customer contracts along with the sale of a limited amount of equity will enable us to meet our financial obligations as they become due. However, we are not generating sufficient revenues to increase our working capital or to carry out our proposed business objectives and continue to operate as a going concern beyond the near term, and we need to obtain additional financing or reduce our expenses by curtailing our operations.
 
We cannot assure you that we will be successful or that our operations will generate sufficient revenues, if any, to meet the expenses of our operations. Although we are seeking additional financing, such financing may not be available or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. Additionally, the nature of our business activities may require the availability of additional funds in the future due to more rapid growth than is forecast, and thus, we may need additional capital or credit lines to continue that rate of business growth. We may encounter difficulty in obtaining these funds and/or credit lines. Moreover, even if additional financing or credit lines were to become available, it is possible that the cost of such funds or credit would be high and possibly prohibitive.
 
If we were to decide to obtain such additional funds by equity financing in one or more private or public offerings, current stockholders would experience a corresponding decrease in their percentage ownership.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firms have issued their report dated March 23, 2009 in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our having sustained operating losses and capital deficits from operations. The fact that we have received this “going concern opinion” from our independent registered public accounting firm will likely make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms and could hinder, to some extent, our operations. Additionally, if we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that stockholders will lose all of their investment. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Item 2.
Properties
 
We lease office space at 1818 Library Street, Suite 500, Reston, Virginia pursuant to a month-to-month lease agreement. Our lease provides for a monthly rental of approximately $1500.00. The space can accommodate approximately five staff. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our needs and that additional space is readily available should we need it.
 
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
 
Arnold Worldwide, Inc., the landlord of InferX at its former premises at 1600 International Drive, Suite 110, McLean, Virginia 22102 , commenced an unlawful detainer action against InferX in the General District Court of Fairfax County, seeking (i) damages, including rent due under the sublease between InferX and Arnold Worldwide, late fees due under the sublease, and attorney’s fees due under the sublease for approximately $94,555; and (ii) an order for possession of the Premises.  The case was dismissed without prejudice in May 2008 subject to a series of payments promised by InferX. InferX has paid approximately $30,000 leaving a deficiency of approximately $65,000. We agreed to the entry of a Consent Order of Possession that allowed Arnold Worldwide to take possession of the premises since we wanted to reduce our expenses as much as possible and find less expensive office space.  The lease for the premises at 1600 International Drive terminated November 30, 2008.

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.
 
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
 
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was  $80,934, a decrease of  $290,159  from  $371,093 for the same period in 2007. This was a result of a decrease in  federal contracts related to the Company’s core competencies.
 
Direct costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $273,383 compared to $372,680 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $99,297.  The decrease in direct costs in 2008 resulted primarily from fewer contract requirements.
 
Operating expenses, which include indirect labor, professional fees, advertising, consulting and general and administrative, decreased $331,740 from $1,690,750 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to  $1,359,010 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease is the result of the following: a decrease in indirect and overhead labor and fringes of $82,532 resulting from reduced costs related to in staffing in 2007; adecrease in professional services of $365,185, consisting primarily of reduced legal and filing costs related to public filings; an increase in share based compensation of $20,732 as a result of options issued under the Company’s option plan; a decrease in travel of $21,559 due to decreased  sales  activity; an increase in rental expense related to our lease agreement in 2008 of $21,837; increase in General and Administrative costs of $127,804; and a decrease in depreciation and impairment of $15,261.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We had cash of approximately $0 at December 31, 2008 and a working capital deficit of  $1,859,458. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we used approximately $510,614 from our operations. The primary areas of funding were the proceeds received from the issuance of promissory notes and warrants in 2008 as well as from operating activities – the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  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 three convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $237,500. These convertible notes accrue interest at the rate of 9.9% 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. In June 2008, we sold convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $45,000. These convertible notes accrue interest at the rate of 9.9% per annum and are convertible into our common stock at a fixed price of $0.10 per share of common stock on the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the date of conversion.
 
We have entered into a merger agreement with The Irus Group that has generated some additional revenue  and we expect to pursue additional business opportunities together prior to the effective time of the merger.  We expect to reduce some of our overhead costs by combining offices and personnel functions to reduce the expected increase in staff for anticipated sales.  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. Our current operating expenditures are approximately $125,000 per month to support our operations, and under our projected growth plan, we expect to double that amount to approximately $250,000 per month by the end of fiscal 2009. Along with revenues from our existing contracts, we believe that we will need to raise capital to address the reduction in debt required for the merger to become effective and to allow us to stay in business.  We estimate that we will require approximately $1,000,000 in additional capital to sustain our operations at their current level through fiscal 2009 and that we will require as much as $3,000,000 in additional revenues or $1,500,000 in additional funding to achieve our projected growth plan.
 
Although we believe the additional capital we will require will be provided either through new equity investment, the exercise of warrants, debt and/or increased revenue, we cannot assure you that the equity investment will be made, 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 try 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.
 
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.

 
16

 

Principles of Consolidation
 
The 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 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.

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.
 
Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets; computer and medical equipment – 5 years, and furniture and fixtures – 5 years.
 
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Deduction is made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.
 
Computer Software Development Costs
 
During 2008 and 2007, 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 additional costs of software development from prior years into service, which is being amortized over a three year period.
 
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.

 
17

 

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 collectibility 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.
 
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.

 
18

 

The Company’s options issued in January and December 2008 were considered stock based compensation (see Note 7).
 
Concentrations
 
The Company has derived all of its revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 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 consolidated balance sheet 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.
 
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.
 
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 have determined that as of December 31, 2008, no additional accrual for income taxes is necessary.

 
19

 
 
(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.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In addition, research and development costs  have been included in indirect labor and  in direct labor and subcontractor costs for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 has not had a material impact on the 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 does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 has had an impact on the Company’s 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 has not had a material effect on the Company’s 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 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company was required to adopt FSP 142-3 on October 1, 2008. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company does not believe FSP 142-3 will materially impact their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF No. 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-05”), which supersedes the definition in EITF 06-01 for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The objective of EITF 07-05 is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and it applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative in FSAB 133, for purposes of determining whether that instrument or embedded feature qualifies for the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 (“the Paragraph 11(a) Exception”). EITF 07-05 also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether the instrument s within the scope of EITF 00-19. The Company is determining what impact, if any, EITF 07-05 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 
21

 

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 08-04, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 08-04”). EITF 08-04 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2008. The overall objective of EITF 08-04 is to conform the requirements of EITF 00-27 and FASB 150 with EITF 98-5 to provide for consistency in application of the standard. The Company has computed and recorded a beneficial conversion feature in connection with certain of their prior financing arrangements and does not believe that EITF 08-04 will have a material effect on that accounting.

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.

Item 9A(T).        Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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 December 31, 2008.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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 below.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
Internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and in consultation with our board of directors, has established and maintained policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting that it believes are appropriate in light of our limited activities, personnel and resources as a development stage company, and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
22

 
(1)  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
(2)  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
(3)  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
 
Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2008 due to the existence of several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, discussed below. Our Board of Directors has reviewed the results of management’s assessment. In addition, on a quarterly basis we will evaluate any changes to our internal control over financial reporting to determine if material changes occurred.
 
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
 
During the conduct of our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we identified two material weaknesses and have advised the Board of Directors that the following material weaknesses existed at December 31, 2008. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a “material weakness” is a control deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
The material weaknesses exist in (i) the lack of independent oversight by an audit committee of independent members of the Board of Directors and (ii) the lack of segregation of duties in the financial reporting and compliance functions. Due to the lack of resources, we have not taken any substantial steps towards resolving the material weaknesses described above.  We expect to do so upon effectiveness of the merger with The Irus Group and raising additional funds in conjunction with the merger.
 
While these material weaknesses did not have an effect on our reported results or result in the restatement of any previously issued financial statements or any other related disclosure, they nevertheless constituted deficiencies in our controls. In light of these material weaknesses and the requirements enacted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our controls and procedures needed improvement and were not effective at a reasonable assurance level. Despite those deficiencies in our internal controls, management believes that there were no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact in this annual report.
 
The elimination of the material weaknesses identified above will be among our highest priorities once we have sufficient resources to devote.
 
We cannot provide any assurance that neither we nor our independent auditors will in the future identify further material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that we have not discovered to date.
 
23

 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions of deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
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.

Item 12.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 
The following table sets forth, as of April 14, 2009, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of common stock by (i) each person known by the company to be the owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, (ii) each director, (iii) each Named Executive Officer, and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group. In general, “beneficial ownership” includes those shares a director or executive officer has the power to vote or the power to transfer, and stock options and other rights to acquire common stock that are exercisable currently or become exercisable within 60 days. Except as indicated otherwise, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. The calculation of the percentage owned is based on 17,738,510 shares outstanding (plus, with respect only to each holder of securities that are exercisable for or convertible into common stock within 60 days, shares underlying such securities). The address of each of the directors and executive officers listed below is c/o InferX Corporation, 1818 Library Street, Suite 500, Reston, Virginia 20190 unless otherwise indicated.

(“Sandor Capital”) (713,940 shares) and Mr. Lemak (306,968 shares), in the aggregate, that are exercisable within 60 days. By their terms, the warrants held by Sandor Capital and Mr. Lemak are not exercisable to the extent that exercise by either of them would result in the joint beneficial ownership by Sandor Advisors and Mr. Lemak of greater than 9.99% of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock. If all of the warrants were exercisable in full, Sandor Advisors and Mr. Lemak would jointly beneficially own 2,196,455 shares of common stock, which would represent beneficial ownership of approximately 15.09% of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Mr. Lemak makes investment decisions on behalf of Sandor Advisors.

Also includes 1,024,021 of the 1,800,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants owned by the Lacuna Entities that are exercisable within 60 days. By their terms, the warrants held by Lacuna Venture Fund are not exercisable to the extent that exercise would result in the Lacuna Entities’ beneficial ownership of greater than 19.99% of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock. If all of the warrants were exercisable in full, the Lacuna Entities would beneficially own 3,672,407 shares of common stock, which would represent beneficial ownership of approximately 23.95% of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Rawleigh Ralls makes investment decisions on behalf of each of the Lacuna Entities.

In May 2006, certain investors provided a bridge loan to InferX Virginia in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 (the “Bridge Loan”). Robert B. Prag, John Lemak and Sandor Capital Master Fund, L.P. (“Sandor Capital”), who beneficially owns greater than 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, provided $50,000, $50,000 and $100,000, respectively, of the Bridge Loan. In consideration for the Bridge Loan, the investors received shares of InferX Virginia common stock convertible into an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock upon the consummation of our acquisition of InferX Virginia. Mr. Prag was issued 35,714 of these shares, Mr. Lemak was issued 35,714 of these shares and Sandor Capital was issued 71,429 of these shares. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the entire principal amount of the Bridge Loan, plus interest accrued at the rate of 8% per annum, was repaid by the company, including the payment of $50,000 plus interest to Mr. Prag, $50,000 plus interest to Mr. Lemak and $100,000 plus interest to Sandor Capital. In lieu of payment in cash upon the consummation of the acquisition, Mr. Prag purchased 103,484 units, Mr. Lemak purchased 103,484 units and Sandor purchased 206,970 units in the October 2006 private placement in consideration of his cancellation of the entire principal amount of his Bridge Loan plus accrued interest, totaling $51,742, $51,742 and $103,485, respectively.
 
Registration Rights
 
In connection with our acquisition of InferX Virginia, the October 2006 private placement, and certain other agreements, we have agreed to file registration statements under the Securities Act to register the resale of our common stock beneficially owned by our former directors, officers and stockholders, Paul T. Mannion Jr., Andrew Reckles and Robert B. Prag, as well as the individuals who became directors, officers and significant stockholders following the acquisition: B.K. Gogia, Jerzy W. Bala and Scott B. Parliament. In addition, if we fail to meet certain deadlines in filing or having the registration statements declared effective, some of these individuals will be entitled to receive additional shares of common stock as a penalty.  As a penalty 268,404, shares of common stock were issued in 2007 to satisfy the obligation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors
InferX Corporation
McLean, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InferX Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InferX Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.   As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained operating losses and capital deficits that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1-
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
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.
 
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 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 $2,727,698 and $1,704,737 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and has a working capital deficiency of $1,859,458 as of December 31, 2008.  The principal reasons for the recurring losses and working capital deficiency relates to the Company’s continued focus on refining its products and search for profitable government contracts. The Company expects the negative cash flow from operations to continue its trend through the next twelve months, however continues to expand their pipeline of contracts. 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 technology, and the raising of additional capital through the sale of the Company’s stock. Additionally, the Company has commenced plan’s to reduce their liabilities by conversion of the notes payable and underlying warrants into shares of common stock. The Company has only had discussions up to this point other than the $169,500 they have converted in 2008.
 
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.

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 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 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 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.
 
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 December 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Computer Software Development Costs
 
During 2008 and 2007, 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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $209,996 and $177,003 of amortization expense on its capitalized software costs, respectively.
 
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 collectibility 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.

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 and December 2008 were considered stock based compensation (see Note 7).
 
Concentrations
 
The Company has derived all of its revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet 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.
 
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.
 
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 have determined that as of December 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 has not had a material impact on the 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.

NOTE 2                 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Recent Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)
 
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 does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 has had an impact on the Company’s 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 has not had a material effect on the Company’s 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 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company was required to adopt FSP 142-3 on October 1, 2008. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company does not believe FSP 142-3 will materially impact their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF No. 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-05”), which supersedes the definition in EITF 06-01 for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The objective of EITF 07-05 is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and it applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative in FSAB 133, for purposes of determining whether that instrument or embedded feature qualifies for the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 (“the Paragraph 11(a) Exception”). EITF 07-05 also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether the instrument s within the scope of EITF 00-19. The Company is determining what impact, if any, EITF 07-05 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 08-04, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 08-04”). EITF 08-04 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2008. The overall objective of EITF 08-04 is to conform the requirements of EITF 00-27 and FASB 150 with EITF 98-5 to provide for consistency in application of the standard. The Company has computed and recorded a beneficial conversion feature in connection with certain of their prior financing arrangements and does not believe that EITF 08-04 will have a material effect on that accounting.

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.

Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. SFAS 157 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
 
Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
 
The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008:
