NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($000’S, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
1. Basis of Presentation
The balance sheet as of June 30, 2006, the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2006 and for all periods presented have been appropriately made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal year 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
2. Acquisitions
In January 2006, the Company acquired all of the assets and operations of privately held Neulogic Media, LLC ("Neulogic"). Neulogic provides e-communication solutions which include website development and support, content distribution, e-mail marketing and back office integration to the philanthropic community. Neulogic was acquired to introduce new products and services to BrightStar customers. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of Neulogic from the date of acquisition.
The purchase price of approximately $2.0 million, consisting of cash of $1.8 million and 139,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, preliminarily valued at $210, was accounted for as business combination and allocated to the acquired assets and other identified intangibles, as follows (in thousands):
Fair value of assumed liabilities | | $ | (326 | ) |
Identified intangible assets acquired: | | | | |
In place contracts and customer list | | | 1,936 | |
Tradename | | | 150 | |
Developed software | | | 250 | |
Total | | $ | 2,010 | |
The value of $210 thousand was estimated based on the April 2005 purchase of the Company by Stellar McKim LLC, this amount could change during the allocation period based on independent valuation of the consideration given or the assets received. Management is presently evaluating the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and such amounts could change during the allocation period.
The valuation of in place contracts, customer list, trade name and developed software represent the fair value of these assets as determined by management based on a preliminary valuation which could change during the allocation period. The allocation period will end in December 2006. All intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of seven years.

6. Convertible Note Payable, net
On January 4, 2006, the Company borrowed $1.8 million from Stellar McKim LLC, which owns 74.7% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. The loan was evidenced by a Promissory Note, dated as of January 4, 2006, and is payable on January 4, 2009. Interest on the outstanding balance of the note accrues at the rate of 9% per annum and is payable annually commencing on the first anniversary of the date of the note. All amounts due under the note are payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or in shares of BrightStar Stock. In the event that we elect to pay amounts due under the note in shares of BrightStar Stock, the shares shall be valued at the average trading price of our common stock for the 20 days immediately preceding the date of payment. No beneficial conversion feature has been recognized in connection with this borrowing, as the conversion price if the company elects to settle in stock is based on the fair value at conversion. All of the proceeds of the loan were paid to the principals of Neulogic.
Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of notes payable. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(1) Diluted EPS for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006 excludes the effect of approximately 483.7 million common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
For the second quarter of 2006, the Company had a single customer that accounted for 23% of total revenue. This customer also accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company had one other customer which accounted for 14% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2006.
For the second quarter of 2005, the Company had a single customer that accounted for 46% of total revenue. This customer also accounted for approximately 23% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2005. In addition, the Company had one customer that accounted for 20%, and another customer that each accounted for 12% of total revenue. These two customers accounted for 31% and 9%, respectively, of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2005.
| 9. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In February 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 155 (“SFAS No 155”), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments: An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. Management does not believe that this statement will have a significant impact as the company does not use such instruments.
In March 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 156 (“SFAS No 156”), “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. Management does not believe that this statement will have a significant impact as the company does not use such instruments.
| 10. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company leases office space under an operating lease agreement that expires in September 2008. Minimum future commitments under this agreement for the years ending December 31 are: 2006, $23; 2007, $46; and 2008, $35.
On July 25, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Harold Kraft, an individual, Pat Dane, an individual, and MyPublicInfo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MPI”). MPI engages in the business of providing background check information as well as other tools designed to prevent identity theft through its website, www.mypublicinfo.com (the “Business”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is to exchange 1,984,273 shares of a new Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of MPI.
In addition, the Company has agreed to negotiate in good faith employment agreements with principals of MPI and entered into a management and administrative services agreement with MPI. The Company is required to invest up to $5 million in MPI to be used for working capital and investment purposes.
On June 9, 2006, the Company released the first $300 of the required investment to MPI. The $300 payment relates to an advance payment of the working capital funding of MPI, made in advance of the acquisition. The advance accrues interest at the prime rate and is payable on a quarterly basis. Upon closing of the acquisition, the advance shall be applied towards the $5 million required cash investment.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, that could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. While the Company believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors, especially the timing and magnitude of technological advances; the prospects for future acquisitions; the possibility that a current customer could be acquired or otherwise be affected by a future event that would diminish their information technology requirements; the competition in the information technology industry and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins; the degree to which business entities continue to outsource information technology and business processes; uncertainties surrounding budget reductions or changes in funding priorities of existing government programs and the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel.
Overview
BrightStar Information Technology Group, Inc. (“BrightStar” or “the Company”), founded in April 1998, provides information technology (“IT”) services for its customers. We help organizations maximize their competitive advantage through the implementation and /or support of leading edge enterprise-level packaged-systems applications and legacy software systems by focusing primarily on serving clients in government markets. BrightStar also provides software support and training services to major corporations and recently entered the philanthropic market with the acquisition of Neulogic. We have approximately 30 employees and contractors. The Company has its headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area with a field office near Dallas, Texas and Columbus, Ohio. We also have other service-delivery locations throughout the United States, including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida and Texas.
We generate the vast majority of our revenue from two channels: (1) IT services provided to the commercial and (2) philanthropic markets. We derive most of our revenues from the sales of IT services in the United States, our domestic market.
Acquisition of MyPublicInfo, Inc. On July 25, 2006, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Harold Kraft, an individual, Pat Dane, an individual, and MyPublicInfo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MPI”). MPI engages in the business of providing background check information as well as other tools designed to prevent identity theft through its website, www.mypublicinfo.com (the “Business”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we are to exchange 1,984,273 shares of a new Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of MPI.
Acquisition of Neulogic Media, LLC. In January 2006, we acquired all of the assets and operations of privately held Neulogic Media, LLC ("Neulogic"). Neulogic provides e-communication solutions which include website development and support, content distribution, e-mail marketing and back office integration to the philanthropic community. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we agreed to purchase Neulogic for approximately $2.0 million. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of Neulogic from the date of acquisition. See notes 2 and 3 for further information.
Financial highlights. Net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.8 million and $1.6 million, slightly higher than the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. While revenues increased slightly, they were driven by a reduction in the demand for our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) services offset revenues generated by our acquisition of Neulogic. Our operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.5 million and $1.1 million, compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in operating expenses primarily resulted from increases in sales and marketing expenses, as further described below. We expect our spending for the remainder of fiscal 2006 to increase as compared to 2005 as we expand our sales and marketing programs and invest in our organizational infrastructure.
Results of Operations
Revenues. The timing of revenues is difficult to forecast because our sales cycle can be relatively long and is subject to a number of uncertainties, including customers’ budgetary constraints, the timing of customers’ budget cycles, customers’ internal approval processes and general economic conditions. In addition, as is customary in the industry, our engagements generally can be changed or terminated without a significant customer penalty. Our revenue and results of operations may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter or year to year because of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in demand for IT services, the effect of changes in estimates to complete fixed fee contracts, the rate of hiring and the productivity of revenue generating personnel, the availability of qualified IT professionals, the significance of customer engagements commenced and completed during a quarter, the number of business days in the quarter, changes in the relative mix of the Company's services, changes in the pricing of the Company's services, the timing and the rate of entrance into new geographic or IT specialty markets, departures or temporary absences of key revenue-generating personnel, the structure and timing of acquisitions, and general economic factors.
For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, revenues were $0.7 million and $1.5 million, consistent with the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. Decreases in our commercial IT services resulting from a reduced demand for our enterprise resource planning consulting services were offset by the acquisition of Neulogic and our entry into the philanthropic IT market place.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries (including non-billable and training time) and benefits for consultants and employees. The Company generally strives to maintain its gross profit margins by offsetting increases in salaries and benefits with increases in billing rates, although this is subject to the market conditions at the time. In addition, the Company tries to increase or decrease the number of consultants used by the Company to provide its services, including third party contractors, as the amount of billable work (and resultant revenue) changes. In other words, the Company continually strives to minimize the amount of unbillable consulting resources or bench.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased from 28% to 30% compared to quarter ended June 30, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased from 26% to 34% compared to six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily reflecting the inclusion of Neulogic’s operations and change in the mix of services provided to our clients.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) primarily consist of costs associated with (i) corporate overhead, (ii) sales and account management, (iii) telecommunications, (iv) human resources, (v) recruiting and training, and (vi) other administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased from $0.2 million to $0.4 million or 100% and from $0.4 million to $0.9 million or 125% compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Neulogic and increased general and administrative services provided to our business, mainly in the areas of sales and marketing, research and development and general corporate administration.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from debt and from cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2006, we had $25 thousand of cash and cash equivalents. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $102.4 million as of June 30, 2006.
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to cash used in operations of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulted primarily from operating losses and increases in accounts receivables and accrued expenses, as a result of including Neulogic’s operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to no investing activities the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash used in investing activities resulted from the acquisition of Neulogic and investments. There were no investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $154 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable and advances from our majority shareholder, partially offset by payments on debt obligations related to the receivables-based revolving line of credit. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash provided by financing activities resulted from proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock offset by payments on debt obligations related to the receivables-based revolving line of credit.
In December 2002, we negotiated a $750 thousand revolving line of credit based on domestic accounts receivable which accrues interest at a rate of 4% above prime. Accessing the accounts receivable based revolving line of credit is restricted based on qualifying accounts receivable and compliance with certain loan covenants. As of June 30, 2006 the credit facility had an outstanding balance of $60 thousand.
Series 1 Subordinated Promissory Notes (the “Notes”)
We have $1.3 million in 8% subordinated notes due in December 2007. On July 26, 2001, we raised $1.1 million though a private placement of convertible promissory notes. The Notes are secured on a junior basis by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, and were convertible into common stock, at the option of the investors, at a fixed price of $0.23 per share, subject to anti-dilution provisions. The Company paid interest from inception through June 30, 2003 by issuing additional Notes. The Company also issued a total of 836,867 stock warrants in conjunction with the Notes exercisable at $0.50.
In April 2005, under the terms of the Stellar Transaction, the Notes became payable to Stellar McKim LLC, the convertible features of all Notes were eliminated, all warrants associated with the Notes were cancelled and the terms of the notes and all interest accrued on the Notes as of March 31, 2005 were extended to December 31, 2007.
On January 4, 2006, we borrowed $1.8 million from Stellar McKim LLC. The loan was evidenced by a Promissory Note, dated as of January 4, 2006, and is payable on January 4, 2009. Interest on the outstanding balance of the note accrues at the rate of 9% per annum and is payable annually commencing on the first anniversary of the date of the note. All amounts due under the note are payable, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common stock. In the event that we elect to pay amounts due under the note in shares of our common stock, the shares shall be valued at the average trading price of our common stock for the 20 days immediately preceding the date of payment. All of the proceeds of the loan were paid to the principals of Neulogic.
Under present circumstances, we believes that our planned results from operations, when combined with the proceeds available from the BFI credit facility, or any alternative working capital facility, will be adequate to fund its operations at least through the end of 2006. However, our operating results could be worse than we are expecting, or the BFI credit facility or other credit facility could be canceled. Under such circumstances, without additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company would have sufficient cash available to meet our obligations as they come due in order to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses BrightStar’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. The preparation of these financial statements 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
We provide services to customers for fees that are based on time and materials and fixed fee contracts. Accordingly, revenue is recognized as consulting services are performed. Unbilled revenue is recorded for contract services provided for which billing has not been rendered. Costs reimbursed by its customers are included in revenue for the periods in which the costs are incurred.
Also, we enter into arrangements to sell products, services, and other arrangements (multiple element arrangements) that include combinations of products. Revenue from product sales and services, net of discounts, is recognized provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenues are recorded when completed. Deferred revenue primarily represents the excess of amounts billed over contract amounts earned. Other multiple element arrangements require delivery of services in the future. We use objective evidence of fair value to allocate revenue to the elements and recognize revenue when the criteria for revenue recognition have been met for each element. Revenue is deferred on the undelivered element based on estimated service periods and recognized when service delivery occurs. Deferred revenues associated with annual fees are recognized over the one year service period.
Income taxes
Income taxes are recorded under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Stock-based compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, employee stock purchases related to the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock units based on estimated fair values of these awards over the requisite employee service period. FAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), which the Company previously followed in accounting for stock-based awards. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) to provide guidance on FAS 123R. The Company has applied SAB 107 in its adoption of FAS 123R.
Under FAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized on a straight-line basis as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006, using the modified prospective application. The valuation provisions of FAS 123R apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. Estimated compensation expense for awards outstanding on the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123).
As of March 31, 2006, all stock option issued by the Company are fully vested, accordingly, no stock-based compensation costs have been recognized by the Company.
