NOTE 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results for the three and six month periods may not be indicative of the results for the entire year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2005 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
Interim statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s accounts for the fiscal year 2006. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.
The consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company’s independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $2,936,234 and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $1,131,040 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and has a working capital deficiency of $2,956,624 and an accumulated deficit of $43,672,339 at June 30, 2006. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional debt and equity financing and to implement its business plan to market and sell its various enterprise software and services. At the current time, management anticipates that it will be able to address its need for financing through the execution of private placements of the Company’s shares to both related and unrelated parties.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Shares - Based Payment, (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which amends, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation expense to be recognized for all share based payments made to employees based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant, eliminating the intrinsic value alternative allowed by SFAS No. 123. Generally, the approach to determining fair value under the original pronouncement has not changed. However, there are revisions to the accounting guidelines established, such as accounting for forfeitures that will change our accounting for stock-based awards in the future.
SFAS No. 123(R) was adopted in the annual period beginning January 1, 2006. The statement requires companies to adopt the modified prospective method, which results in the recognition of compensation expense using SFAS 123(R) for all share-based awards granted after the effective date and the recognition of compensation expense using SFAS 123 for all previously granted share - based awards that remain unvested at the effective date.
The Company has evaluated SFAS 123(R) and has determined that incorporating it as part of its adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not currently have a stock option plan.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables accounts payable, due to related parties, accrued liabilities, taxes payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s lines of credit approximates fair value because the interest rates of the lines of credit are based on floating rates identified by reference to market rates. The carrying amounts of the Company’s loans and notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar debt obligations.
Net (Loss) Per Share
Basic (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the shares used in the calculation of basic net income per share plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents totaling 6,554,976 shares of common stock have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the periods presented as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9 | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
TPG Capital Corporation
On March 17, 2000, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with TPG Capital Corporation regarding an inactive reporting shell company that the Company acquired. The consulting agreement provides that one year after the execution of the agreement, (“reset date”), 350,000 common shares issued by the Company under the agreement would be increased or decreased based upon the average closing bid for the Company’s stock 30 days prior to the reset date, so the value of the shares issued will equal $500,000.
In December, 2005 an arbitrator determined that the Company was obligated to pay TPG Capital Corporation $448,000 to be issued in either common stock which must be registered by June, 2006 or in cash. The Company recorded an expense of this amount in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and such amount is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006.
Orchestral Corporation
On June 13, 2002, the Company canceled its “Power Audit” software distribution agreement with Orchestral (the “licensor”). In November 2002, the licensor commenced a proceeding in Ontario, Canada against the Company which was discontinued while the parties discussed a settlement. That proceeding alleged that the Company had infringed upon the copyright that the licensor maintained, and further that the Company had breached the distribution contract claiming damages of CAD $4,000,000. The licensor also claimed punitive and exemplary damages in the amount of CAD $1,000,000. When a settlement was not concluded, Orchestral commenced a second, identical action in August, 2003. The Company retained legal counsel to defend itself on the basis that there is no merit to the case and even if there was merit, the time frame in which to bring an action under the distribution agreement has expired.

Orchestral commenced an Application before the Ontario courts to enforce a settlement which it alleged was reached with the Company during the negotiations between its first and second lawsuits. The court ordered that a settlement was enforceable and that $226,824 was owed by the Company to the licensor. The Company appealed this decision and in January 2006 the initial judgment was upheld.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company reached a settlement with Orchestral in which it agreed to pay Orchestral the $226,824 which the court had previously ordered payable, along with interest from the date of that judgment totaling $57,224. The interest was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, Orchestral agreed to accept the Company’s common stock in consideration for settlement of this debt. The conversion price for the common stock was a 20% discount to price of the Company’s common stock for the trailing 20 trading day prior to settlement. This settlement resulted in a loss of $110,463, which has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The common stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to this settlement agreement has been recorded in common stock to be issued in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006.
Cesar Correia and InfoLink Technologies Ltd.
From December 2003 to April 2004, the Company was engaged in discussions with certain major shareholders of Infolink Technologies Limited with regard to the potential acquisition of Infolink Technologies Ltd., a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange venture board under the symbol “IFL”. During the course of discussions, an offer to purchase was rebuffed by Cesar Correia, the former Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, and 34% shareholder of Infolink. At the time, Mr. Correia was told that the Company would purchase another competitor to Infolink, C Comm Network Corporation. In May of 2004, the Company purchased C Comm. In July of 2004, an unrelated minority shareholder of Infolink commenced an action in Ontario alleging that Mr. Correia has mismanaged Infolink and amongst other things that he had inappropriately obtained funds from Infolink and converted them to his own purposes. The day prior to the court hearing with regard to the minority shareholder action against Infolink, Infolink Technology commenced a proceeding in the same Ontario court against the Company alleging unfair competition as a result of an alleged improper acquisition of confidential information from Infolink and numerous other causes of action. The Company has not yet had to file a defence to any of Infolink’s claims against the Company. Meanwhile, the court appointed a monitor and investigator to look into the allegations against Mr. Correia. The court appointed monitor and investigator issued an interim report in October 2004 which found that several of the allegations against Mr. Correia were substantiated. Mr. Correia was removed from the position of Chairman, President and CEO of Infolink and is now an employee of Infolink. The Company believes that Infolink as a corporate entity will not proceed with any action against the Company as the Company believes that the action was commenced as a defensive move by Mr. Correia and, now that he has been removed from management of Infolink, there is little basis for the action to continue.

The Company also acquired intellectual property relating to the DP business in a concurrent transaction. The consideration above represents the total consideration for this entire acquisition.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
The Company is authorized to issue three series of preferred shares:
Series A and B
On September 14, 2004, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 8,333,333 Series A and 4,167,667 Series B preferred shares which had a purchase price of $0.03 and $0.06, respectively totaling $500,000. With respect to the Series A shares, the Company may force conversion if the trading price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $2.00 for 30 days. With regard to the Series B shares, the Company may force conversion if the trading price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $4.00 for 30 days. These shares have a right of redemption whereby if the stock is not converted within 5 years, the Company, at its option, shall have the right to redeem all outstanding but unconverted shares of series A (same for B) Preferred Stock held by such person by paying to the holder thereof $0.30 (for B, $0.60) per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, if any. These shares are not manditorily redeemable. The preferred shareholders will be paid a dividend at the rate of 10% per annum. On December 21, 2005 the Company reached an agreement with the holders of the Series A and B shares to convert their entire holdings of these classes of shares into common shares of the Company. The conversion price in this transaction was higher than the market price of the Company’s commons shares on the conversion agreement date. Specifically, the carrying value of the preferred shares prior to conversion exceeded the fair value of the common stock consideration by $208,333. As a result, and consistent with Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-42. The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company has added back this excess in determining net loss available to common shareholders in its consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the Company has recorded this excess as an increase to additional paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheet, consistent with the guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin 5 T. In order to satisfy this conversion agreement, subsequent to December 31, 2005 the Company issued common shares to the former shareholders of the Series A and B preferred shares totaling 4,166,667. These shares were included in common stock to be issued at December 31, 2005, and were subsequently issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Series C
In 2004, the Company and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker’s Union (See Note 7) agreed to settle the outstanding loan of $500,000 into Series C convertible preferred shares. The terms of the Series C preferred stock require the Company to redeem the preferred shares over 16 quarters, commencing on December 31, 2004. The Company shall have the option of paying the quarterly redemptions in the form of cash or common shares. Also the preferred shares will have a 12% annual dividend rate payable quarterly based on the number of preferred shares outstanding at the end of the quarter. As of June 30, 2006 the Company has an obligation to issue common shares with a value of $31,250 in order to satisfy the terms of its Series C Preferred Stock and this amount has been recorded as common shares to be issued within Shareholders' Equity.
The Company completed a series of private placements from May 10, 2006 through June 8, 2006. The total amount raised through these placements was $401,300. Total consideration due by the Company in exchange for these private placements is 8,917,778 common shares as well as 2,972,593 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company. The common shares are expected to be issued in the quarter ending September 30, 2006. The warrants all have a one-year term, with an exercise price of $0.06.

Overview
ActiveCore Technologies, Inc. (“ActiveCore” or the “Company”) is a Nevada registered Company with its head office in Toronto, Canada, and operations in Canada and the United States. The Company operates within the enterprise software and services market in a sector which has been described by the Gartner Group as that group of vendors of software and services that sell and install “Smart Enterprise Suites” and related products. The Company has organized itself into two distinct divisions to deliver its products and services. The Systems Integration and Migration (SIM) division focuses on large projects in the financial services, insurance, healthcare, education and manufacturing industries. These projects are aimed at protecting the customer’s investment in, improving the functionality of, and extending the life span of their existing information technology systems. The acquisition of Cratos Technologies Solutions Inc. (“Cratos”) during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was completed in an effort to give this division critical mass. The Corporate Disclosure and Messaging (CDM) division is focused on working with these same and additional customers to provide them with a range of communication and information distribution based products that allow them to leverage existing corporate information and share it with their customers, employees and other stakeholders and facilitates their move towards a Smart Enterprise.
The Company’s products encompass application integration, application modernization, application migration, content management, vertical application portals, a corporate disclosure portal and an outbound corporate messaging portal. This product set gives ActiveCore the capability to deliver effective, efficient and economical integration, modernization, migration and corporate messaging services or complete solutions to clients seeking to enable or extend their existing systems to stakeholders and customers without wholesale changes to their systems. ActiveCore’s products are designed to enable the Company’s clients to extend the functions of their current systems, often called “legacy systems”, by using the Company’s integration, modernization and migration product sets that are sold and delivered by the SIM division. For organizations wanting to take the next step in achieving what ActiveCore terms “A Smart Enterprise” the Company offers its disclosure and messaging products that are sold and delivered by the CDM division. By concentrating on the improvement of the customers existing systems and providing an additional communication/messaging product layer the Company is able to offer its customers a cost effective way to rapidly improve the overall capability and extend the life of their existing information technology assets.
The SIM division derives its revenue from the sale of value added labor and software licenses. This division has repeat customers and maintenance revenue but to grow it must find new customers on a regular basis to replace revenue from completed projects. Projects in this division usually range from one to two years in length and can exceed one million dollars in value. These projects tend to have long sell cycles and are predominantly with large customers. The gross profit percentage of this division varies based on the mix of sales as product revenue tends to yield a higher margin than services revenue. The Company considers this division to be a “solutions provider”, therefore, there will always be a mix of both product and service revenue but normally the mix will be weighted towards services. In this division the Company competes with a variety of System Integration “SI” vendors but has the advantage of having ownership of most of the products it uses to develop client specific and industry specific solutions.
The CDM division of the Company derives its revenue from the sale of product based services and usually delivers these services via an Application Service Provider (ASP) model. The size of the individual sales in this division are much smaller than in the SIM division but the revenue generated by this division is recurring in nature. Contracts in this division can vary from a one time job to three years and the length is determined by the target customer. Customers that purchase the DisclosurePlus product set usually sign three year contracts that consist of an initial setup fee and monthly payments and once the customer has committed to use this product set they become long term customers. Customers that purchase the Messaging product set tend to sign shorter contracts or choose to use the service as required. This division has shorter sell cycles and employs both telephone and direct sales representatives. The contribution margin from this division will vary based on the mix of Messaging sales versus DisclosurePlus sales. DisclosurePlus sales will yield a higher margin once the division has reached a critical mass of repeat customers.
The Company has set up a “service bureau” operation under the product identity “ActiveCast” to implement the Messaging ASP service whereby it offers broadcast services to customers on an outsourced basis using its own internal installation of ActiveLINK and DynaPortal. The Company is actively increasing the scope and revenue earning capacity of this operation by investing in fixed assets and personnel to grow the revenue and client base.
Recent Developments
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Global Sterling Payments Systems Ltd. (“GSPS”), a private U.K. company and a related party, in exchange for 100,000,000 common shares of the Company. The Company already owns a small minority interest of GSPS. GSPS is the parent company of ePocket, a wholly owned subsidiary. This acquisition is expected to close during the Company’s quarter ending September 30, 2006.
ePocket has developed the technology which delivers true electronic cash to the world for the first time, making purchases over the Internet completely secure and anonomous. ePocket enables banks to provide their customers with the ability to withdraw electronic cash in any currency from their regular deposit accounts, and send this electronic cash to merchants or other consumers in order to make payments. Cash created electronically is just like cash, except there are no coins, bills, or plastic cards. Just like cash, electronic cash does not require the identification of a payer. This provides privacy for consumers, and eliminates fraud and identity theft, making ePocket the most cost-effective payment solution for Internet commerce. ePocket payments cost merchants less than any other payment technologies. Their extraordinary cost effectiveness enables merchants to profitably accept very small payments of just one or two dollars. In contrast to other payment schemes, consumers do not have to open additional accounts with a payment intermediary. Consumers do not have to give up any identity or credit information in order to accomplish a payment. This makes ePocket payments completely secure and provides complete privacy for consumers.
In anticipation of closing the GSPS acquisition, the Company made the determination that it would divest itself of its MDI business, which was no longer deemed to be strategic given the fact that the Company was in the process of rebranding itself as a pure-play payment organization. Consequently, the Company sold the business towards the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2006, for cash consideration of $388,700.
Critical Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP necessarily requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenues, bad debts, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed at the time to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results will differ, potentially materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions and estimates are outside of the Company’s control.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue: A significant portion of all of the Company's net sales are derived from commercial software development and sales activities, which are subject to increasing competition, rapid technological change and evolving customer preferences, often resulting in the frequent introduction of new products and short product lifecycles. Accordingly, the Company's profitability and growth prospects depend upon its ability to continually acquire, develop and market new, commercially successful software products and obtain adequate financing. If the Company is unable to continue to acquire, develop and market commercially successful software products, its operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected in the near future.
The Company recognizes revenue for software sales in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition", as amended by SOP 98-9 "Modification of SOP 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition with respect to Certain Transactions." SOP 97-2 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. SOP 98-9 deals with the determination of vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value in multiple element arrangements, such as maintenance agreements sold in conjunction with software packages. For 2005 and 2004 the Company does not have any multi-element arrangements that would require it to establish VSOE for each element, nor does the Company have any sales activity that requires the contract method of accounting. The Company's software transactions generally include only one element, the software under license. The Company recognizes revenue when the price is fixed and determinable, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fulfillment of its obligations under any such arrangement, and determination that collection is probable. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when the license or title and all risks of loss are transferred to the customer, which is generally upon receipt by customer.
The Company recognizes revenue in the period in which the service is performed and collection is reasonably assured.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would likely be required. Actual collections could differ materially from our estimates.
Income Taxes. The Company has currently recorded a full valuation allowance against all of its deferred income tax assets as management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, management has considered factors such as the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected taxable income, the character of the income tax asset and tax planning strategies. A change to these factors could impact the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense.
Litigation. The Company is a party, from time to time, in legal proceedings. In these cases, management assesses the likelihood that a loss will result, as well as the amount of such loss and the financial statements provide for the Company’s best estimate of such losses. To the extent that any of these legal proceedings are resolved and result in the Company being required to pay an amount in excess of what has been provided for in the financial statements, the Company would be required to record, against earnings, the excess at that time. If the resolution resulted in a gain to the Company, or a loss less than that provided for, such gain is recognized when received or receivable.
Valuation of Intangible Assets. The Company has a history of acquiring other businesses, and expects that this trend will likely continue in the future. As part of the completion of any business combination, the Company is required to value any intangible assets acquired at the date of acquisition. This valuation is inherently subjective, and necessarily involves judgments and estimates regarding future cash flows and other operational variables of the entity acquired. However, there can be no assurance that the judgments and estimates made at the date of acquisition will reflect future performance of the acquired entity. If management makes judgments or estimates that differ from actual circumstances, the Company may be required to write-off certain of its intangible assets. Similarly, in accordance with SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , the Company is required to annually test the value of its goodwill as well as its acquired intangible assets. This testing requires management to make estimates of the market value of its various operating segments. Changes in estimates could result in different conclusions for the value of goodwill. The Company performs its annual impairment testing on its goodwill at December 31st of each year, provided that circumstances don’t arise during the year that would necessitate an earlier evaluation.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same Periods Ended June 30, 2005
Overview
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded revenues of $1.6 million, and a loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million. These amounts compare to revenue of $1.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, when a loss from continuing operations of $1.1 million was incurred. During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded revenues of $3.0 million, and a loss from continuing operations of $2.6 million. These amounts compare to revenue of $1.6 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2005, when a loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million was incurred. The most significant change from 2005 to 2006 from a revenue perspective was the fact that the Company closed its acquisition of Cratos during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. During this quarter, the Company began consolidating the results of Cratos effective May 1, 2005. As a result, there were two months in 2006 when the Company was recognizing revenue with respect to Cratos where there was no comparative balances during 2005.
Revenues
Three months ended June 30 | Six months ended June 30 |
2006 | 2005 | % Change | 2006 | 2005 | % Change |
1,582,317 | 1,409,104 | 12% | 3,037,441 | 1,553,777 | 95% |
During the three months ended June 30, 2006 the Company generated $1.6 million in revenue from the sale of products and services versus $1.4 million in revenue in the same three month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in revenue during 2006 was primarily a result of increased revenue from the Company’s ActiveCast division during 2006 as compared to 2005. During 2005 this division was still in its early stages and had fewer revenue producing employees than it did during 2006. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, total revenue was $3.0 million, which represented a 100% increase from the $1.6 million recorded during the six month period ended June 30, 2005. From a revenue source perspective, the vast majority of the revenue recorded in both 2006 and 2005 was service related, while product related revenue represented only a small percentage of the total. The increase in the six month revenue in 2006 as compared to 2005 was a result of the fact that 2006 had 6 months of Cratos revenue, whereas in 2005 there were only 2 months given that the Cratos acquisition was completed May 1, 2005.
Cost of Sales
Three months ended June 30 | Six months ended June 30 |
2006 | 2005 | % Change | 2006 | 2005 | % Change |
1,514,097 | 1,068,985 | 42% | 2,846,082 | 1,169,114 | 143% |
Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 were $1.5 million, which consisted primarily of direct wages paid to consulting services staff of $1.4 million, and amortization of software licensing agreements of $0.1 million. These amounts are significantly higher than fiscal 2005 when the Company’s cost of sales totaled $1.1 million which was also principally comprised of direct wages for consulting staff. The increase in cost of sales for the three month period relates to the fact that most of the Company’s cost of sales during both periods relates to the Cratos consulting staff, and during 2005 this operation was consolidated for two month whereas in 2006 it was in the Company’s results of operations for three months. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, cost of sales totaled $2.8 million, which represented an increase of 143% from the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The vast majority of the increase in cost of sales in 2006 as compared to 2005 relates the recent addition of Cratos, whose consulting staff’s costs are in the 2005 results for only 2 months whereas they are in the full six months ended June 30, 2006. Cratos is largely a services organization whose primary costs are its costs to deliver its revenue. The Company’s gross margin decreased from 24% to 8% from the three month period ended June 30, 2005 to the three month period ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was a result of the fact that during 2005 the Company’s Cratos division was working on larger projects than they have been during 2006, and those larger projects afforded the Company higher gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.5 million as compared to $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005. Operating expenses increased for the six month periods from $2.3 million in 2005 to $2.8 million in 2006. After these expenses, the Company recognized a loss from operations of $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 versus a loss from operations of $1.1 million in the same quarter ended June 30, 2005. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $2.6 million as compared with a loss of $1.9 million in fiscal 2005.
Salaries and Wages
Three months ended June 30 | Six months ended June 30 |
2006 | 2005 | % Change | 2006 | 2005 | % Change |
546,786 | 432,657 | 26% | 1,066,330 | 683,743 | 56% |
Salaries and wages in 2006 represent the cost of administration and sales and marketing staff except for certain contractors who are shown as consulting costs. For the three month period ended June 30, 2006, salaries and wages were $0.5 million as compared with $0.4 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2005. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the increase in salaries and wages was 56%. The increase in the three month period is primarily a result of the fact that the throughout 2005 the Company made significant headcount additions to its ActiveCast business. As a result, the 2006 Activecast salaries and wages were higher than those incurred during 2005. The increase in the six month period is a result of both the increased expenditures in the Activecast business as well as the fact that stock compensation expense in 2006 was considerably higher than in 2005 as a result of stock compensation provided to both executive management and staff which was not provided in 2005.
Consulting fees
Three months ended June 30 | Six months ended June 30 |
2006 | 2005 | % Change | 2006 | 2005 | % Change |
156,754 | 221,081 | (29%) | 301,457 | 380,030 | (21%) |
For the three month period ended June 30, 2006, consulting fees decreased 29% to $0.2 million from $0.2 million as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2005. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, this decrease was 21% given that consulting fees for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 were $0.3 million as compared to $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Consulting expenses incurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2005 included approximately $100,000 in one-time termination costs incurred to exit a consulting contract which the Company determined was no longer producing acceptable returns to the organization. Additionally, during the six month period ended June 30, 2005, approximately $50,000 of consulting expense relates to the amortization of deferred consulting costs which relate to assistance in securing certain financing transactions. The amortization of these costs expired later in 2005 and as a result have no comparable balance in consulting expense in 2006.
Legal and Accounting
Three months ended June 30 | Six months ended June 30 |
2006 | 2005 | % Change | 2006 | 2005 | % Change |
185,531 | 246,841 | (25%) | 370,712 | 320,133 | 16% |
For the three month period ended June 30, 2006, legal and accounting expenses decreased 25% to $185,531 from $246,841 during the three month period ended June 30, 2005. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, legal and accounting expenses increased slightly by 16% given that legal and accounting expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 were $0.4 million as compared to $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Legal and accounting expenses included legal costs associated with using third party lawyers to act on behalf of the Company in current legal matters. Additionally, the Company has incurred significant legal costs over the past year in an attempt to gain control over Infolink. Accounting costs include audit fees and related costs as well as costs incurred to complete periodic regulatory filings. The Company experienced a decrease in its annual audit fees from 2005 to 2006 and this accounts for the decrease in legal and accounting costs during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company reached a settlement of its debt to Orchestral Corporation which involved discharging the majority of this liability through common stock of the Company. This transaction was completed using a value of the Company’s common shares which was discounted relative to its then current market price, and this discount resulted in the Company incurring a loss on settlement of debt. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company expended $229,300 in financial interest which was significantly higher than the $38,420 expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 totaled $377,903 as compared with $116,119 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense in 2006 as compared with 2005 is a result of new interest bearing facilities which the Company put into place including a loan with a Canadian chartered bank, a term loan with a private institution, as well as interest incurred in relation to certain short-term loans the Company entered into towards the end of 2005 and into 2006. In addition, the Company settled its litigation with Orchestral during the quarter ended June 2006 and agreed to pay interest costs on its outstanding liability and this resulted in a large charge in the three month period ended June 30, 2006.
Foreign exchange losses were $32,780 and $67,426 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 respectively as compared with $3,555 and $37,295 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 respectively. These losses are a result of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.
Discontinued Operations
In the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded discontinued operations with respect to its MDI business. The Company recorded a gain on the disposition of this business of $263,541. This gain was a result of the fact that the business was disposed of for cash and note receivable consideration totaling $388,700, and that these businesses had a net book value of $125,159 as of the date of disposition. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, MDI recorded a loss from operations of $71,574. This compares to a profit of $21,974 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the MDI business recorded a net loss of $53,567, compared to a loss of $28,461 for the same period in 2005.
The Company also had discontinued operations with respect to Twincentric for the 2005 periods only. Twincentric was disposed of during the Company’s third quarter of 2005. For the three month period ended June 30, 2005, Twincentric recorded a loss from operation of $209,831, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 recorded a loss of $160,525.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The company had a net loss of $2,936,234 and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $1,131,040 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and has a working capital deficiency of $2,956,624 and an accumulated deficit of $43,672,339 at June 30, 2006. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional debt and equity financing and to implement its business plan to market and sell its various enterprise software and services. At the current time management anticipates that it will be able to address its need for financing through the execution of private placements of the Company’s shares to both related and unrelated parties.
At June 30, 2006, the Company’s need for cash included satisfying $6,627,042 of current liabilities. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional funding through expansion of its current bank facility, an equity injection, a convertible loan and increased sales revenue. Additional equity financing in particular is very important to the organization particularly if the Company is successful in acquiring GSPS, given that the Company expects that the investment required to bring the ePocket product into the marketplace will be significant. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $89,999 of cash on hand. In addition, certain shareholders have also supported the Company by deferring the timing of certain payments from time-to-time or converting shareholders loans into equity. While there is no legal commitment for them to do so, the Company believes that certain shareholders will continue to support the Company in a similar manner.
As the Company is currently in the process of acquiring GSPS, its cash needs in the future will involve raising funds to complete this transaction, as well as raising funds to bring the ePocket product into the marketplace. The Company is currently in the process of raising additional financing, which it expects will be in the form of either common stock or a convertible debenture.
The failure of the Company to obtain additional debt and equity funding will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and may force the Company to reorganize, reduce its investment in, or otherwise divest of one or more of the Company’s operations, or to reduce the cost of all operations to a lower level of expenditure thereby reducing the Company’s expected revenues and net income in 2006 and beyond.
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Cash on the consolidated balance sheet decreased from $109,789 at December 31, 2005 to $89,999 at June 30, 2006.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the net cash used in operating activities was $1,131,040 versus $1,367,870 in the six month period ended June 30, 2005. In the six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash used in operations was less than the Company’s net loss for the respective period, largely as a result of cash generated from accounts receivable of $551,881 and from accounts payable of $500,682 respectively as well ass $860,967 of non-cash items. During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, most of the difference between the Company’s net loss for the period and its use of cash flows from operations was a result of $860,967 generated from accounts receivable.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $163,674 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. This period’s use of cash is a result of capital asset purchases which were more than offset by the proceeds received from the Sale of the Company's MDI business. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company used $239,695 from investing activities, which was primarily a result of cash used to complete the acquisitions of both DisclosurePlus and Cratos.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $943,944 in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The source of funds was primarily a result of the Company receiving proceeds from a term loan of $385,528 and from the issuance of shares of $401,300 respectively. Which were more than offset by the proceeds received from the Sale of the Company’s MDI business. In the six month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company generated cash flows from financing activities of $1,585,051 which was primarily a result of the Company instituting a line of credit with a Canadian chartered bank which provided proceeds of $1,483,698.
Certain Business Risk Factors
A significant portion of the Company’s net sales are derived from data integration services and from the sale of enterprise software, which are subject to increasing competition, rapid technological change and evolving customer preferences, often resulting in the frequent introduction of new products and short product lifecycles. Accordingly, the Company’s profitability and growth prospects depend upon its ability to continually acquire, develop and market new, commercially successful software products and obtain adequate financing. If the Company is unable to continue to acquire, develop and market commercially successful software products, its operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected in the near future.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the recoverability of capitalized software development costs and other intangibles, realization of deferred income taxes, and doubtful accounts. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company’s disclosure control objectives.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls: The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. Any Control system, no matter how well conceived and managed, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are 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. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances for 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 breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Conclusions: The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered to timely alert management to material information relating to the Company.
(B) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there are no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
James Cassidy and TPG Corporation
In March of 2000, the Company entered into an agreement (the “TPG Agreement”) with TPG Capital Corporation (“TPG”). Under the TPG Agreement, TPG provided advice and other services to ActiveCore with respect to the acquisition of Erebus Corporation (the “Erebus Acquisition”). The Company pursued the Erebus Acquisition to, among other things, maintain its listing eligibility on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). TPG was the sole stockholder of Erebus Corporation and the Company believes that James Cassidy was a controlling stockholder of TPG.
Under the Erebus Acquisition, the Company purchased Erebus, a non-active entity with securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to, among other things, retain its listing status on the OTCBB. At that time, the Company was at risk of losing its listing eligibility under a new national Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) listing requirement. Loss of listing eligibility would have resulted in the Company trading in the Pink Sheets. Management and the board of directors at that time determined that such a development would be detrimental to its stockholders and other investors. The Company consummated the Erebus Acquisition in March of 2000.
Under the TPG Agreement, the Company paid to TPG 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, then worth $500,000, and $200,000 in cash. In addition, the TPG Agreement contains a reset provision which obligates the Company to issue additional shares of its common stock so that the total number of shares issued to TPG under the TPG Agreement had a value of $500,000 as of the first anniversary of the effective date of the TPG Agreement. Based on the relative share prices of the Company’s common stock as of March of 2000 and March of 2001, if the Company was required to satisfy the reset provision, the Company would be required to issue to TPG an additional 3,028,378 shares of its common stock (“Reset Shares”).
The Company does not believe that TPG is entitled to the Reset Shares. Based on public records, in June of 2001, TPG and Mr. Cassidy reached a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to securities fraud and disclosure violations alleged by the SEC in connection with transactions substantially similar to the Erebus Acquisition. Neither Mr. Cassidy nor TPG admitted or denied the allegations. A description of the settlement is contained in SEC Litigation Release No. 17023, dated June 4, 2001. Although the Company has maintained its listing status on the OTCBB, the Company has experienced significant regulatory problems in connection with the Erebus Acquisition that are related to the allegations underlying the settlement between TPG and Mr. Cassidy and the Securities and Exchange Commission. These problems have resulted in significant delays and expense to the Company.
In March of 2005, Mr. Cassidy, as assignee of TPG’s rights under the TPG Agreement, filed a claim in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia against the Company seeking, among other things, the Reset Shares. The Company has engaged a law firm to vigorously defend it against the claim. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006 the action was withdrawn and the Company and Mr. Cassidy agreed to enter into arbitration on the matter and this is now in process with the arbitration board currently being established. No contingent liability has been allocated for any eventual loss on the action.
Pursuant to Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company believes that Mr. Cassidy may be deemed to be a “promoter” of the Company. The Company has no ongoing business relationship with Mr. Cassidy and he is not employed by the Company in any manner.
This case is proceeding to arbitration on August 26, 2006 which will take place in Washington, D.C.
Orchestral Corporation
Orchestral Corporation commenced a proceeding in Ontario court in January of 2003, which was subsequently placed into abeyance, then revived in August of 2003, against the Company and its Canadian subsidiary, ActiveCore Limited (formerly Springboard Technologies Inc.) to the effect that they had infringed upon the copyright that Orchestral maintained in PowerAudit and further that the Company had breached the distribution contract between Orchestral and the Company with respect to termination and non-payment of support costs with regard to the distribution of Power Audit. Orchestral has claimed punitive and exemplary damages of Canadian $4,000,000 and Canadian $1,000,000, respectively. The Company has retained counsel and is defending the action on the basis that the Company believes that there is no merit to the case and in the event that there was merit, the time frame in which to bring an action in the contract has expired.
Orchestral commenced an Application before the Ontario courts to enforce a settlement which it alleged was reached with the Company during the negotiations between its first and second lawsuits. The court ordered that a settlement was enforceable and that $226,824 was owed by the Company to the licensor. The Company appealed this decision and in January 2006 the initial judgment was upheld.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company reached a settlement with Orchestral in which it agreed to pay Orchestral the $226,824 which the court had previously ordered payable, along with interest from the date of that judgment totaling $57,224. The interest was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, Orchestral agreed to accept the Company’s common stock in consideration for settlement of this debt. The conversion price for the common stock was a 20% discount to price of the Company’s common stock for the trailing 20 trading day prior to settlement. This settlement resulted in a loss of $110,463, which has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The common stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to this settlement agreement has been recorded in common stock to be issued in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006.
Cesar Correia and InfoLink Technologies Ltd.
From December 2003 to April 2005, the Company was engaged in discussions with certain major shareholders of Infolink Technologies Limited with regard to the potential acquisition of Infolink Technologies Ltd., a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “IFL”. During the course of discussions, an offer to purchase was rebuffed by Cesar Correia, the former Chairman of the Board, President and CEO and 34% shareholder of Infolink. At the time, Mr. Correia was told that the Company would purchase another competitor to Infolink, C Comm Network Corporation. In May 2005, the Company purchased C Comm. In July 2005, an unrelated minority shareholder of Infolink commenced an action in Ontario alleging that Mr. Correia has mismanaged Infolink and amongst other things that he had inappropriately obtained funds from the company and converted them to his own purposes. The day prior to the court hearing with regard to the minority shareholder action, Mr. Correia together with Infolink Technology commenced a proceeding in the same Ontario court alleging unfair competition as a result of an alleged improper acquisition of confidential information from Infolink and numerous other causes of action. Meanwhile, the court appointed a monitor and investigator to look into the allegations against Mr. Correia. The court appointed monitor and investigator issued an interim report in October 2005 which found that several of the allegations against Mr. Correia were substantiated. Mr. Correia was removed from the position of Chairman, President and CEO of Infolink and is now an employee of Infolink with a reduced salary. The Company believes that Infolink as a corporate entity will not proceed with any action against the Company as the Company believes that the action was commenced as a defensive move by Mr. Correia and now that he has been removed from management of Infolink there is little basis for the action to continue.
Part 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 9, 2006, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 40,000 restricted common shares of stock from treasury to unrelated parties (Shai Stern) and an additional 40,000 restricted common shares of stock from treasury to (Seth Farbman) of Vintage Filings, LLC in order to receive long term discounted pricing for issuance of ActiveCore press releases.
On February 9, 2006, the board of directors authorized the issuance 400,000 restricted common shares of stock from treasury as board compensation to two independent members of the board. Stephen Lewis received 200,000 common shares and Steven Smith received 200,000 common shares.
Effective March 1, 2006, the Company completed a reverse split of the common shares on a 1 for 10 ratio and this resulted in the issuance from treasury of the following share amounts in respect of “round-up” for beneficial owners of the common shares: (i) to Cede & Co of 49,995 common shares; (ii) to ADP Clearing of 9 common shares; and (iii) to RBC Dominion Securities of 6 common shares.
