BPO MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009


1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization
 
BPO Management Services, Inc. was incorporated in 1982 in the state of Pennsylvania and was previously named Healthaxis, Inc.  On December 30, 2008, Healthaxis Inc. (as used in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Healthaxis”) acquired the publicly held BPO Management Services, Inc. (“Legacy BPOMS”) in a reverse merger and immediately changed its name to BPO Management Services, Inc., also referred to “BPOMS.”  BPOMS is a provider of business process outsourcing services providing information technology outsourcing (“ITO”) services, Healthcare administrative systems and related services and financial and accounting outsourcing (“Healthcare”) services and human resource outsourcing (“HRO”) services to middle market enterprises.
 
For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Legacy BPOMS as the acquirer. The historical consolidated financial statements prior to December 30, 2008, are those of the Legacy BPOMS. All share-related data have been presented giving effect to the recapitalization resulting from the reverse merger.  References in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “BPOMS” refer to BPOMS.

Basis of Presentation

The following unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  Operating results for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. For 2008, amounts have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and in the notes contained herein (see Note 3).

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BPOMS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits among the consolidated entities have been eliminated upon consolidation. Each of the following entities is included in consolidation as of date of its inception or acquisition.

(3) Because the merger of Legacy BPOMS and Legacy Healthaxis took place at the end of fiscal 2008, the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 include those of the Healthcare segment, while the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 do not include the Healthcare segment.
 
Going Concern

The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $7.8 million and a net decline in cash of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company has historically funded its operations from the private placement of shares of its common stock and preferred stock and through the founders’ bridge loan facility established in August 2006. To meet the needs of the current business and to fund growth, the Company anticipates raising capital by issuing its securities and/or debt in one or more private transactions, by way of a strategic merger or divestiture of certain assets or operations.
 
The Company’s future capital requirements will depend upon many factors. These factors include but are not limited to sales and marketing efforts, the development of new products and services, possible future corporate mergers or strategic acquisitions or divestitures, the progress of research and development efforts, and the status of competitive products and services.  If the Company’s anticipated financing transactions do not take place at all and/or are unreasonably delayed, the Company may not have adequate funds to extinguish all remaining liabilities of the Company and fund its current operations going forward.
 
Although the Company expects to meet its operating capital needs through one or more financing transactions, merger or divestiture of certain assets or operations, there can be no assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds on acceptable terms, it may be not be able to complete its business plan or otherwise continue to operate its business. If equity financing is available to the Company on acceptable terms, it could result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders.
 
The report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm dated March 31, 2009 contained in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included a paragraph that explains that the Company had incurred recurring operating losses, a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of $28.7 million as of December 31, 2008. The report concluded that these matters, among others, raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Concentration of Risk
 
The Company is subject to credit risk primarily through its accounts receivable balances. The Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable balances. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 one customer accounted for $1.1 million (18%) and $3.2 million (16%), respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.  At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, two customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as shown in the table below.

Research and Development

The Company's research and development ("R&D") costs consist mainly of software developers' salaries. The Company follows Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”) to capitalize software development costs when technological feasibility has been established and to stop capitalization when the product is available for general release to customers. The Company capitalized software development costs of approximately $140,755 and $142,741 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $446,544 and $380,341 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Subsequent Events

The Company’s Management has evaluated subsequent events through November 13, 2009, which is the date that the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements were filed. Management is aware of no material subsequent events that have occurred since September 30, 2009 that would require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.  For 2008, amounts have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and in the notes contained herein (see Note 3).

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

In accordance with GAAP, we calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented and adjust the amount of net loss, used in this calculation, for preferred stock dividends declared during the period.

We incurred a net loss in each period presented, and as such, did not include the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the diluted net loss per share calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents would include the common stock issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options that have conversion or exercise prices below the market value of our common stock at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents amounted to 27,643,809 and 142,383,018 shares, respectively.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance in accounting for transfers of financial assets to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  This standard must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.   This standard must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this statement will have on our financial position and results of operations and will adopt the provisions of this standard in fiscal 2010.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the consolidation rules as they relate to variable interest entities. Specifically, the new standard makes significant changes to the model for determining who should consolidate a variable interest entity, and also addresses how often this assessment should be performed.  This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial position and results of operations and will adopt the provisions of this standard in fiscal 2010.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles.  This Codification is now the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff.  The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Therefore, in all references made to US GAAP will now use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB.  As the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing US GAAP, it is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically, the new standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Specifically, if certain requirements are met, revenue arrangements that contain tangible products with software elements that are essential to the functionality of the products are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition accounting guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these accounting standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.  Sale of Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors authorized management to pursue the sale of the BPOMS’ Canadian operations (“BPOMS Ltd.”). On July 30, 2009, BPOMS entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with CriticalControl Solutions Corp., an Alberta corporation located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada which then closed on July 31, 2009.  Under the terms of the Agreement, BPOMS sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BPOMS Ltd., an Ontario corporation and all intercompany debt owed by BPOMS, Ltd., to the buyer.  The total purchase price payable at closing to BPOMS was 100,000 Canadian Dollars.  BPOMS, Ltd., with the backing of the buyer, became responsible for its outstanding liabilities (which totaled $4.7 million Canadian Dollars at closing).

BPOMS Ltd. operations have been accounted for as discontinued operations in prior periods.  The results of operations of these businesses have been removed from the results of continuing operations for all periods presented.  The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reclassified and are segregated in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2,420,170 in the second quarter of 2009 to write down the discontinued operations to its estimated fair value. During the third quarter of 2009, the sale of BPOMS, Ltd. resulted in an additional charge to discontinued operations of approximately $203,854. BPOMS, Ltd. was the operating subsidiary in which all of the Company’s Canadian operations were maintained and represents a substantial component of its ECM business.

5.  Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt

Blue Hill has a credit facility from Comerica Bank which includes a revolving operating line limited to the lesser of the $1,000,000 maximum availability or 80% of eligible accounts receivable and carries interest at the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus 4.0%, which amounted to 4.25% at September 30, 2009, a $500,000 term loan amortized over a four year period and bearing interest at the Comerica Bank prime rate plus 1.25%, which amounted to 4.5% at September 30, 2009, a specific advance facility for equipment purchases up to a maximum of $500,000 bearing interest at the Comerica Bank prime rate plus 1.00%, which amounted to 4.25% at September 30, 2009 and a specific advance facility for equipment purchases up to a maximum of $700,000 bearing interest at the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus 6.0%, which amounted to 6.25% at September 30, 2009. The loans are supported by a general security interest in all the assets of Blue Hill and the operating facility is also supported by the guaranty of Legacy BPOMS and the subordination of loans of a minimum of $1,400,000, payable by Blue Hill to Legacy BPOMS, to Comerica Bank. At September 30, 2009 Blue Hill had an outstanding balance of $646,485 under the operating line, $291,667 under the term loan, $43,687 under the equipment loan and $674,000 under the second equipment loan.  These loan agreements contain covenants pertaining to maintenance of various ratios.  At September 30, 2009, the Company was in breach of these covenants.  Under the terms of the agreement, the bank may call the loans if the Company is in violation of any restrictive covenant.  The bank has provided a notice of default to the Company and has not waived the ratio requirement. Accordingly the entire amount of the loans, $1,655,839, including the long-term portion of approximately $717,108, has been included in current liabilities.

14

 
On July 22, 2009, certain of the Company’s healthcare subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Amended LSA”).  Under this agreement, the subsidiaries may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $1.6 million or (ii) 80% of eligible accounts receivable subject to certain adjustments.  Advances under the Amended LSA bear interest at SVB’s prime rate (4.0% at September 30, 2009) plus 3.5% plus a collateral handling fee of 0.35% per month.  The Amended LSA contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including the maintenance of a specified level of EBITDA as defined by the Amended LSA.  Advances under the Amended LSA are covered by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of the Company’s healthcare subsidiaries, including intellectual property.  The Amended LSA matures June 14, 2010.  At September 30, 2009, the Company’s healthcare subsidiaries had outstanding balances of $1,224,130 and $170,376 under the related revolving line and equipment line, respectively.

6.  Related Party Transactions

The Company is a party to a Remote Resourcing Agreement with Healthcare BPO Partners L.P., a company affiliated with a significant shareholder.  Healthcare BPO Partners, based in Jaipur, India, provides personnel and infrastructure that is utilized by the Company to provide business process outsourcing services and other software development and technical support services to support the Company’s operations.  The resources provided by Healthcare BPO Partners supplement the Company’s existing wholly-owned operations in Utah, Texas and Jamaica.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred costs of approximately $111,000, and $334,000 related to the Resourcing Agreement. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had accounts payable to Healthcare BPO Partners of approximately $86,000 and $124,000, respectively.

7.  Segment and Geographic Data

The Company is a business process outsourcing services provider. The Company's operating segments are:
 
Information Technology services outsourcing (ITO),
Healthcare administrative systems and related services and financial and accounting outsourcing services or (Healthcare) and
Human resources outsourcing (HRO)

The Company applies GAAP which requires segments to be determined and reported based on how management measures performance and makes decisions about allocating resources. The Company's management monitors unallocable expenses related to the Company's corporate activities in a separate "Corporate," which is reflected in the tables below.

Due to the classification of BPOMS Ltd. as discontinued operations, these operations have been removed from the segment discussion contained herein.  The operations of BPOMS Ltd. comprised approximately 95% of the segment the Company had previously reported as its ECM operations, thus the Company has eliminated any further discussion of the ECM segment and has reclassified the remaining former ECM operations in its ITO Operations discussion.

8.  Restructuring Plan and Liability

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company initiated a restructuring program to reduce overhead costs, which included workforce reduction and consolidation of administrative activities.  These restructuring charges are generally of a nonrecurring nature and are excluded from segment financial results, which is our measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $150,000 related to employee severance and approximately $232,000 for lease exit costs based on the present value of remaining lease rentals reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property.  The Company paid approximately $31,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 with a remaining restructuring liability of $316,711 as of September 30, 2009.

9.  Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time we may be involved in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. However, except as described below, there are no other pending legal proceedings or claims to which we are a party or of which any of our property is subject that in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. Due to our cash flow constraints, the number of vendors with past due balances and the aggregate dollar amount of those past due balances have continued to grow.  We expect that the number of threatened claims will continue to grow and that some of these vendors may file lawsuits seeking to collect amounts owed.  The Company does not believe that current threats of litigation from any single vendor would materially impact the Company, but the aggregate value of the claims could have a material negative impact on the Company if a substantial number of these vendors file lawsuits against us.
 
BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd.
 
The Company is a defendant along with two of its officers in a lawsuit that commenced on May 28, 2009 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 601661-2009 entitled BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd. v. BPO Management Services, Inc., James Cortens, and Patrick Dolan. The complaint asserts, among other things, claims for (1) breach of certain provisions of warrants held by BridgePointe; (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing related to certain stock agreements to which Legacy BPOMS and BridgePointe were parties; and (3) breach of fiduciary duty against two executive officers of BPO Management Services, Inc., Mr. Patrick Dolan and Mr. James Cortens.  The complaint seeks damages in excess of $3.2 million from the Company and the other defendants.  The Company does not currently believe that the claims have any merit.  On August 25, 2009, the Company filed its answer and a motion to dismiss the claims against the two officers and directors named in the suit.  The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about us and our industry and generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance.  You can identify certain forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “may,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “pro forma,” “goal,” “continues,” “anticipates,” or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects under this heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and under the heading “Business.”  These forward-looking statements necessarily depend upon assumptions and estimates that may prove to be incorrect.  Although we believe that the assumptions and estimates reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that we will achieve our plans, intentions, or expectations.  The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ in significant ways from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are identified under the heading “Risk Factors,” and you should carefully consider such risks, uncertainties and other factors before deciding to invest or maintain an investment in shares of our stock.  Any of the factors referenced under the heading “Risk Factors” or elsewhere could cause our future financial results, including our net income (loss) or growth in net income (loss) to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
 
Overview
 
On December 30, 2008, Healthaxis Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation incorporated in 1982 (“Legacy Healthaxis”), completed a merger resulting in BPO Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy BPOMS”), becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Healthaxis (the “Merger”).  Legacy Healthaxis changed its name to “BPO Management Services, Inc.” upon the closing of the Merger (“BPOMS”).  Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Legacy BPOMS’ pre-Merger shareholders held approximately 75% of BPOMS’ shares, and Legacy Healthaxis’ pre-Merger shareholders retained approximately 25% of BPOMS’ shares, all on a fully diluted, as-converted basis.  Notwithstanding the fact that Legacy Healthaxis was the legal acquirer under the Merger and remains the registrant for SEC reporting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy BPOMS as the accounting acquirer.  BPOMS has accounted for the Merger as a purchase business combination, using Legacy BPOMS’ historical financial information and accounting policies and applying fair value estimates to the acquired assets, liabilities and commitments of Legacy Healthaxis as of December 30, 2008.
 
The financial information contained in this report reflects the Merger as if Legacy BPOMS had issued consideration to Legacy Healthaxis shareholders.  As a result, financial information derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included with this report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflects the consolidated financial results of Legacy BPOMS alone, while financial information derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 reflects the post-merger consolidated financial results of BPOMS.  Financial information derived from the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 reflects the consolidated assets and liabilities of Legacy BPOMS and Legacy Healthaxis at December 31, 2008, while financial information derived from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2009 reflects the post-merger consolidated assets and liabilities of BPOMS.  Please see Note 4 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of the Merger and a pro forma presentation of financial results for the combined companies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Legacy BPOMS was incorporated in 1981 under the name Research Engineers, Inc., changed its name to netGuru, Inc. in 2000 and to BPO Management Services, Inc. on December 15, 2006 immediately following its reverse merger with privately-held BPO Management Services, Inc. (“Private BPOMS”).  Private BPOMS was incorporated in July 2005. On December 15, 2006, Private BPOMS acquired all of the outstanding common stock of publicly-held netGuru, Inc. in a reverse merger. Private BPOMS was the accounting acquirer.

We provide business process outsourcing (BPO) services primarily to middle-market enterprises in the United States.  “BPO” refers to the outsourcing of entire business processes, typically to reduce cost and/or to improve the performance of that process.  Our objective is to provide a comprehensive suite of BPO functions to support the back-office business requirements of middle-market enterprises on an outsourced and/or recurring revenue basis.
 
Our primary business offerings are:
 
Information technology services outsourcing or “ITO”;
   
Healthcare administrative systems and related services and financial and accounting outsourcing services or “Healthcare and F&A”, and
   
Human resources information systems and related outsourcing services, or “HRO”
 
As of July 31, 2009, the Company divested its Canadian operations, and thus the financial information in this report is provided for the Canadian operations as discontinued operations, and the results of the Canadian operations have therefore been removed from the following discussion of the results of continuing operations.

Our business plan for 2009 is to focus on our core strengths in information technology outsourcing and our offerings in managed services and software for healthcare benefits administration, finance and accounting, and human resources.  We believe that our growth opportunities in these areas are the keys for putting BPOMS on a faster track for growth and profitability.  In the second quarter of 2009, we initiated a restructuring program to reduce overhead costs, which included workforce reduction and consolidation of administrative activities.  We will continue our work on integrating the Company’s operations to achieve additional financial synergies.  Our longer term strategy continues to focus on organic growth and accretive acquisitions.  Our business and strategic plans for 2009 are likely to be negatively impacted by the current severe financial conditions and resulting poor business environment.  In the current environment, customers and prospects are likely to delay or avoid making decisions on whether to outsource business process functions, making sales extremely difficult to close.  The financial health of some of our customers may also be at risk and we may see declines in volume as some customers scale back their operations or cease activities that rely on our services.  The current condition of the capital markets will also have a negative impact on our plans for strategic growth and may limit our options for raising needed additional capital as described below under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

The third quarter loss from operations was $3.9 million, which included non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million and for goodwill and intangible asset impairment of $2.4 million.  We are starting to realize cost savings from our restructuring efforts as evidenced by the $527,000 reduction in selling, general and administrative expense as compared to the second quarter of 2009.  More importantly, our ITO operations have recently signed contracts with new customers with a total contract value exceeding $5.0 million and have several more opportunities with total contract value of more than $9.0 million in the contracting or advanced negotiation stage.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
Legacy BPOMS began operations in July 26, 2005 and merged with netGuru, Inc. on December 15, 2006 in a reverse merger.  For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of Legacy BPOMS with Legacy BPOMS as the acquirer. The historical statements of operations included in this annual report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, are those of Legacy BPOMS.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $2,676,977 decreased 21% from $3,377,155 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 due to a decline in information technology consulting services provided on a time and materials basis, reduced sales of collaborative software tools, and the loss of legacy data center customers that were acquired and consolidated their IT operations with those of the acquiror.  Cost of services provided of $1,918,628 increased from $1,733,499 primarily due to increased costs for software and licensing fees of approximately $300,000, offset with reductions of consulting costs of approximately $130,000.  Much of these expenses related to securing and related increasing support of additional contracts that are anticipated to generate greater revenue as they come on stream. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $915,114 decreased 22% from $1,171,168 primarily due to a decrease in payroll costs of approximately $48,000 and consulting costs of approximately $190,000.  Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $124,429 increased $43,208 from $81,221 primarily due to increases in software developers’ wages for development of enhancements to and integrations with the EReview collaborative software product.  Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased $87,745 primarily due to the acquisition of fixed assets throughout 2008 and 2009, offset by the reduction of amortization expense of approximately $112,500 due to the impairment loss of $2,765,429 on intangible assets recorded at December 31, 2008.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $86,139 decreased from $366,157 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 due to a significant drop in professional services revenue combined with a reduction in software licensing fees and lower maintenance renewals as companies have dramatically reduced spending on less critical administrative applications.  Cost of services provided of $77,181 decreased from $110,457 primarily due to the reduction of personnel.  Selling, general and administrative expenses of $54,936 decreased from $387,094 due to reductions in personnel, consultant fees and variable sales and marketing costs.  The change in depreciation and amortization expense between periods was due to a SFAS revaluation in the second quarter of 2008 which resulted in a reduction to the values previously assigned to fixed assets and intangible assets.  Software development costs of approximately $29,600 and $70,600 were capitalized for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $614,978 decreased from $1,338,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to a significant drop in professional services revenue combined with a reduction in software licensing fees and lower maintenance renewals as companies have dramatically reduced spending on less critical administrative applications.  Cost of services provided of $295,783 decreased from $392,468 primarily due to the reduction of personnel.  Selling, general and administrative expenses of $538,400 decreased from $1,106,658 as reductions in personnel and variable sales and marketing costs were somewhat offset by an increase in bad debt expense of approximately $85,000.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $113,100 from $153,868 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to a SFAS revaluation in the second quarter of 2008 which resulted in a reduction of values previously assigned to fixed assets and intangible assets.  Software development costs of $84,700 and $237,600 were capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $2,230,320 increased from $1,745,332 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company released a contingent liability of approximately $215,000, and as a result, the prior year expenses are lower by this amount.  The overall change primarily results from the release of this liability combined with corporate related expenses in the 2009 period from the reverse merger with Legacy Healthaxis of approximately $335,000. These changes were partially offset by a broad based decrease of overall corporate expenses resulting from our restructuring and consolidation efforts.  The decrease in stock-based compensation expense is a result of all Legacy BPOMS stock-based awards became fully vested and completely expensed as of December 31, 2008, a result of the reverse merger with Legacy Healthaxis on December 30, 2008.  In the second quarter of 2009, the Company initiated a restructuring program to reduce overhead costs, which included workforce reduction and consolidation of administrative activities.  These restructuring charges are generally of a nonrecurring nature and are excluded from segment financial results, which is our measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $150,000 related to employee severance and approximately $232,000 for lease exit costs based on the present value of remaining lease rentals reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property.  The goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge resulted from Management’s review of the carrying value of the assets compared to their fair value during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview of Cash Resources
 
At September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1.0 million compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2008.  The sources and uses of cash during 2009 are described more fully in “Analysis of Cash Flows” below.  The Company’s focus is on becoming profitable and generating positive cash flow, however in the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations or raise additional capital, then our business would be adversely affected.
 
On July 22, 2009, certain of the Company’s healthcare subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Amended LSA”).  Under this agreement, the subsidiaries may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $1.6 million or (ii) 80% of eligible accounts receivable subject to certain adjustments.  Advances under the Amended LSA bear interest at SVB’s prime rate (4.0% at September 30, 2009) plus 3.5% plus a collateral handling fee of 0.35% per month.  The Amended LSA contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including the maintenance of a specified EBITDA level.  Advances under the Amended LSA are covered by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of the Company’s healthcare subsidiaries, including intellectual property.  The Amended LSA matures June 14, 2010.  At September 30, 2009, the Company’s healthcare subsidiaries had outstanding balances of $1,224,130 and $170,376 under the related revolving line and equipment line, respectively.
 
Blue Hill has a credit facility from Comerica Bank which includes a revolving operating line limited to the lesser of the $1,000,000 maximum availability or 80% of eligible accounts receivable and carries interest at the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus 4.0%, which amounted to 4.25% at September 30, 2009, a $500,000 term loan amortized over a four year period and bearing interest at the Comerica Bank prime rate plus 1.25%, which amounted to 4.5% at September 30, 2009, a specific advance facility for equipment purchases up to a maximum of $500,000 bearing interest at the Comerica Bank prime rate plus 1.00%, which amounted to 4.25% at September 30, 2009 and a specific advance facility for equipment purchases up to a maximum of $700,000 bearing interest at the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus 6.0%, which amounted to 6.25% at September 30, 2009. The loans are supported by a general security interest in all the assets of Blue Hill and the operating facility is also supported by the guaranty of Legacy BPOMS and the subordination of loans of a minimum of $1,400,000, payable by Blue Hill to Legacy BPOMS, to Comerica Bank. At September 30, 2009 Blue Hill had an outstanding balance of $646,485 under the operating line, $291,667 under the term loan, $43,687 under the equipment loan and $674,000 under the second equipment loan.  These loan agreements contain covenants pertaining to maintenance of various ratios.  At September 30, 2009, the Company was in breach of these covenants.  Under the terms of the agreement, the bank may call the loans if the Company is in violation of any restrictive covenant.  The bank has provided a notice of default to the Company and has not waived the ratio requirement, but has allowed the Company to continue to borrow on the revolving line and has not demanded immediate repayment in full of the obligations to the bank.  Accordingly the entire amount of the loans, $1,655,839, including the long-term portion of approximately $717,108, has been included in current liabilities.
 
Analysis of Cash Flows
 
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1.1 million as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.4 million for the same period in 2008.  The improvement was primarily the result of changes in working capital, including generating cash from the reduction of accounts receivable combined with a higher accounts payable balance.  These increases to cash flow from operations were partially offset by the increased net loss from continuing operations.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1.6 million as compared to cash used in investing activities of approximately $263,000 for the same period in 2008.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s purchase of equipment and internally developed capitalized software amounted to approximately $1.6 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cash used by investing activities was due to the purchase of equipment of approximately $660,000, offset by the release of restricted cash in the amount of approximately $923,000.
 
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1.4 million as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3.6 million for the same period in 2008.  Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is the net result of proceeds from bank loans of approximately $111,000, payment of notes issued to former shareholders of $1.0 million, repayment of capital lease obligations of approximately $385,000, repayment of a note payable to a related party in the amount of $100,000.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is the result of proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $5.2 million plus net bank borrowings of approximately $491,000 offset by payments to former shareholders of approximately $886,000, dividend payments of approximately $753,000, repayment of note payable to a related party in the amount of $200,000 and capital lease obligation payments of approximately $161,000.

During the next twelve months, the Company anticipates raising capital necessary to meet the needs of its current business, grow its business and complete additional acquisitions by issuing its securities and/or debt in one or more private transactions, merger, or divestiture of certain assets or operations.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors. These factors include but are not limited to sales and marketing efforts, the development of new products and services, possible future corporate mergers or strategic acquisitions or divestitures, the progress of research and development efforts, and the status of competitive products and services. If our anticipated financing needs are not met or are unreasonably delayed, we may not have adequate funds to extinguish all our remaining obligations and fund our current operations going forward.
 
Although we plan to meet our operating capital needs through one or more financing transactions, merger, or divestiture of certain assets or operations, there can be no assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete our business plan. If equity financing is available to us on acceptable terms, it could result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.
 
This uncertainty, recurring losses from operations, limited cash resources, and an accumulated deficit, among other factors, raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and led our independent registered public accounting firm to include an explanatory paragraph in their report dated March 31, 2009 contained in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008. The report concludes that these matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable under smaller reporting company scaled disclosure requirements

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The management of the Company has designed and evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted a material weakness as disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported consolidated financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company's financial statements for the current reporting period.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. However, except as described below, there are no other pending legal proceedings or claims to which we are a party or of which any of our property is subject that in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. Due to our cash flow constraints, the number of vendors with past due balances and the aggregate dollar amount of those past due balances have continued to grow.  We expect that the number of threatened claims will continue to grow and that some of these vendors may file lawsuits seeking to collect amounts owed.  The Company does not believe that current threats of litigation from any single vendor would materially impact the Company, but the aggregate value of the claims could have a material negative impact on the Company if a substantial number of these vendors file lawsuits against us.
 
BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd.
 
The Company is a defendant along with two of its officers in a lawsuit that commenced on May 28, 2009 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 601661-2009 entitled BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd. v. BPO Management Services, Inc., James Cortens, and Patrick Dolan. The complaint asserts, among other things, claims for (1) breach of certain provisions of warrants held by BridgePointe; (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing related to certain stock agreements to which Legacy BPOMS and BridgePointe were parties; and (3) breach of fiduciary duty against two executive officers of BPO Management Services, Inc., Mr. Patrick Dolan and Mr. James Cortens.  The complaint seeks damages in excess of $3.2 million from the Company and the other defendants.  The Company does not currently believe that the claims have any merit.  On August 25, 2009, the Company filed its answer and a motion to dismiss the claims against the two officers and directors named in the suit. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.2(e) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(v) 
The Seller hereby expressly agrees and acknowledges that:

(A) 
in this section, the words “directly or indirectly” include any action taken by either of the Seller for its own benefit or for the benefit of any Person competing with the Business, either individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any other Person as principal, agent, trustee, employee or shareholder (except for the holding of less than 1% of the shares of a corporation as referred to in Section 5.2(e)(i) hereof );

(B) 
The Company has protectable business interests with respect to its suppliers, employees, customers and prospective customers, and that competition as proscribed above with and against such business interests would be harmful to the Company and Buyer;

the covenants contained in this Section 5.2(e) above are reasonable as to time and geographical area and do not place any unreasonable burden upon the Seller’s ability to earn a livelihood;

the parties have entered into the covenants contained herein in connection with and as a condition precedent to the consummation of this Agreement, pursuant to which Buyer shall acquire the outstanding shares of the Company; the agreements, actions, covenants, and promises contained herein are intended to protect and ensure the value of the Company, including its goodwill, which actions, covenants, and promises are a material consideration to Buyer in connection with this Agreement; and, to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction in which this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and/or enforced distinguish between covenants given in connection with the sale of a business and its goodwill and covenants given in connection with employment, this covenant will be given the broader interpretation customarily given to covenants in connection with the sale of a business and the transfer of goodwill to a buyer; and

(G) 
Seller understands and agrees to each and every term and condition contained in Section 5.2(e) of this Agreement.

(vi) 
Seller recognizes and acknowledges that irreparable damage will result to Buyer in the event of a breach by Seller of the provisions of this Section 5.2(e) and, accordingly, in the event of such a breach, Buyer will be entitled, in addition to any other legal or equitable damages and remedies to which it may be entitled or which may be available, to an injunction to restrain the violation thereof.
