Notes To Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the interim financial statements included in this Form 10-Q without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, pursuant to such rules and regulations. You should read these financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The financial statements presented herein as of September 30, 2010, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Management makes estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses we report, and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Accordingly, you should read these condensed financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This update addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimated selling price. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires allocation of arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures for a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. A company may elect, but is not required, to adopt this guidance retrospectively for all prior periods. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this update will have, if any, on our financial statements. We anticipate our revenue recognition policy, which will be effective January 1, 2011, will be impacted by a combination of this guidance and the new guidance on FASB ASC Topic 985 “Software — Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” which is detailed in the following paragraph.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 985 “Software — Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements.” This update excludes from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. This guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2011. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this update will have, if any, on our financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance on disclosures related to fair value measurements. This guidance requires new disclosures about significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements with respect to Level 3 measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures became effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2011. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.
2. Net Earnings (Loss) per Share
We compute basic net earnings (loss) per share using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents, if any, for each period. Diluted per share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table computes a reconciliation of basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share and the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

3. Stock Based Compensation
Non-vested Stock:
Total stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock was $230,000 and $553,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The three months ended September 30, 2009 includes $295,000 of compensation expense related to the severance agreement with our former president and chief executive officer. Total stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock was $534,000 and $847,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock was $1.7 million at September 30, 2010 which we will amortize through December 2013.
The following table summarizes our non-vested stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2010:
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value | |
Non-vested stock at January 1, 2010 | | 575,799 | | $ | 4.65 | |

| | Number of Shares | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contract Life in Years | |

Other:
During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized expense of $29,000 and $34,000 related to the issuance of 9,495 and 9,500 shares of fully vested common stock to members of our Board of Directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized expense of $109,000 and $116,000 related to the issuance of 27,495 and 32,922 shares of fully vested common stock to members of our Board of Directors.
4. Income Taxes
We base the provision for income taxes in our interim financial statements on estimated annual effective tax rates in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our effective tax rate was 46% and 77%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our effective tax rate was 30% and 49%, respectively. The lower tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009 resulted primarily from the impact of discrete items in 2009 and higher forecasted income used in the 2010 effective rate calculations. We had approximately $94,000 and $141,000 of discrete items which we recognized in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We expect our annual effective tax rate for 2010 to be 57%.
As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we estimate federal and state income taxes. Management estimates the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which we include within our balance sheet. Management must then assess the likelihood that we will utilize deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income during the periods in which we may deduct these temporary differences.
We assess our uncertain tax positions for tax years that are still open for examination. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007 and at September 30, 2010 and 2009, we had no unrecognized tax benefits which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.
We classify interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statement of income under general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2006-2009 remain open to examination by both the Federal government and by other major income taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
5. Goodwill and Valuation of Finite-Life Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
We assess the carrying amount of our goodwill for potential impairment annually or more frequently if events or a change in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. We perform an impairment test for finite-lived assets, such as intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, such as fixed assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Circumstances that could represent triggering events and therefore require an interim impairment test of goodwill or evaluation of our finite-life intangible assets or other long lived assets include the following: loss of key personnel, unanticipated competition, higher or earlier than expected customer attrition, deterioration of operating performance, significant adverse industry, economic or regulatory changes or a significant decline in market capitalization.
We have only one operating and reporting unit that earns revenues, incurs expenses and makes available discrete financial information for review by our chief operations decision maker. Accordingly, we complete our goodwill impairment testing on this single reporting unit.

Table of Contents
Testing for goodwill impairment is a two step process. The first step screens for potential impairment. If there is an indication of possible impairment we must complete the second step to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of our market capitalization with the carrying value of our net assets. If our total market capitalization is at or below the carrying value of our net assets, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss we record, if any. We consider goodwill impairment test estimates critical due to the amount of goodwill recorded on our balance sheet and the judgment required in determining fair value amounts.
Goodwill as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $23.7 million. We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2009, our last measurement date. Based on this analysis, we determined that there was no impairment to goodwill. We will continue to monitor conditions and changes that could indicate impairment of our recorded goodwill.
At each of September 30, 2010 and 2009, we determined that no triggering events had occurred during the quarter and our finite-lived assets and long-lived assets were not impaired.
Identified intangible assets are summarized as follows:
| | Amortizable | | As of September 30, 2010 | | As of December 31, 2009 | |

6. Acquisitions
We determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represent our estimate of fair values. We determine our valuations through a combination of methods, which include internal rate of return calculations, discounted cash flow models, outside valuations and appraisals and market conditions. We

did not consummate any acquisitions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the acquisitions we completed in 2009, we have included the results of these acquisitions in the accompanying interim statement of operations from the respective acquisition dates forward.
Networking Solutions Division of Cross Telecom. On October 1, 2009, we acquired the networking solutions division of Minneapolis-based Cross Telecom’s (“Cross”), which qualified as a business combination. We completed an asset purchase of $2.0 million, which was paid in cash. Simultaneously, Cross entered into a services agreement, which we also refer to as the reverse earn-out agreement, with us to purchase at least $1.8 million of networking products and services from us over the next three years. Cross has agreed to pay any shortfall between customer purchases and the guaranteed annual purchase amount. We believed that we would meet the revenue targets and accordingly, we determined that the reverse earn-out had no fair value at the date of this business combination or in any subsequent periods prior to the settlement date. We estimated the fair values of the assets acquired to goodwill and finite lived intangibles, which consisted of the services agreement and certifications. They have estimated lives of four and two years, respectively, and we are amortizing them using the straight line method.
The first year of the three year reverse earn-out agreement came to an end at September 30, 2010. Per the services agreement any shortfall between customer purchases and the guaranteed annual purchase amount would be payable by Cross at that time. At September 30, 2010, there was a shortfall between customer purchases and the guaranteed annual purchase amount of $503,000. As discussed above, on October 1, 2009 we determined that the revenue targets would be met and the reverse earn-out had no fair value. Therefore, the shortfall amount of $503,000 represented a change in fair value of the acquisition date reverse earn-out and in accordance with ASC 805-30-35 was classified as other income within operating expenses on our statement of operations. We believe that the revenue targets for the next two years will be met and accordingly the reverse earn-out was determined to have no fair value at September 30, 2010.
Reseller Business of Incentra, LLC. On December 17, 2009, we acquired the reseller business of Incentra, which designs, procures, implements and supports data center solutions with storage, networking, security and servers from leading manufacturers. We did not acquire Incentra’s managed services portfolio and related operations. We accomplished the acquisition through the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Incentra’s reseller business pursuant to an asset purchase agreement.
Under the asset purchase agreement, we paid Incentra $13.8 million. We paid $8.8 million at closing in cash, of which we held back $440,000 as security for certain indemnification obligations of Incentra. In addition, we paid Incentra $5.0 million for the working capital associated with Incentra’s reseller business through the delivery of $2.0 million in cash and a $3.0 million secured promissory paid on March 31, 2010. The promissory note was secured by the assets we purchased under the asset purchase agreement. We agreed to share one-half of any working capital in excess of $5 million as of June 30, 2010 with Incentra.
In connection with this acquisition, we estimated the fair values of the net assets acquired, including finite lived intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date, resulting in goodwill of approximately $4.5 million. We paid a premium over the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired (i.e. goodwill), because we believe this acquisition expands our regional presence and customer portfolio and enables us to provide our customers with complete data center solutions. We have experienced operational synergies and efficiencies through combined general and administrative and corporate functions.

The finite lived intangibles which consisted of trademarks, order backlog and customer relationships have estimated lives of three years, one year and eight years, respectively, and we are amortizing them using the straight line method.
Integration costs for 2010 include salaries, benefits, retention bonuses and severances of exiting employees, some of whom assisted with the initial integration of Incentra. Total integration and transaction costs were $0 and $581,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
The pro forma unaudited results of operations for 2009 assuming consummation of our Incentra acquisition as of January 1, 2009 and excluding any pro forma information for the Cross acquisition as that pro forma impact was not significant, are as follows:

OVERVIEW
We provide solutions and services that make data centers more efficient, manageable and responsive to changing business needs. Focused on mid and large-size companies, we assess, design, deploy, and support infrastructures — servers, storage and networks — at the heart of the data center. Our portfolio of solutions and services spans three practices: consolidation and virtualization, enhanced data protection and advanced network infrastructures. We offer a full suite of practice-specific analysis, design, implementation, management, and support services.
Our solutions can include hardware products, such as servers, disk arrays, tape systems, networking and interconnection components and software products. We believe trends in the data center marketplace support our strategy to offer our customers a single vendor to provide

their data center infrastructure needs. Gartner, Inc., an information technology research and advisory company, estimates IT spending in the United States will grow by nearly a 4.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2009 and 2014. Gartner estimates that storage costs are approximately 10% of a typical data center spending budget. However, due to the diversity of services and products we provide, including data storage, our data center portfolio covers services and products are estimated by Gartner to represent over 55% of a data center’s spending budget. As of September 30, 2010, we have 32 locations throughout the United States. We historically have derived our greatest percentage of net sales from customers located in the central part of the United States.
We sell support service contracts to most of our customers. When customers purchase support services through us, customers receive the benefit of integrated system wide support. We have a qualified, independent support desk that takes calls from customers, diagnoses the issues they are facing and either solves the problem or coordinates with us or our vendor’s technical staff to meet the customer’s needs. Our support service agreements with our customers include an underlying agreement with the product manufacturer. The manufacturer provides on-site support assistance if necessary. We defer revenues and direct costs resulting from these contracts, and amortize these revenues and expenses into operations, over the term of the contracts that are generally twelve months.
The data center infrastructure solutions and services market is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Our competition includes other independent storage, server and networking system integrators, high end value-added resellers, distributors, consultants and the internal sales force of our suppliers. Our ability to hire and retain qualified outside sales representatives and engineers with enterprise-class information storage, server and networking experience is critical to effectively compete in the marketplace and achieve our growth strategies.
In the past, we have experienced fluctuations in the timing of orders from our customers, and we expect to continue to experience these fluctuations in the future. These fluctuations have resulted from, among other things, the time required to design, test and evaluate our data center infrastructure solutions before customers deploy them, the size of customer orders, the complexity of our customers’ network environments, necessary system configuration to deploy our solutions and new product introductions by suppliers. Completion of our installation and configuration services may also delay recognition of revenues. Current economic conditions and competition also affect our customers’ decisions and timing to place orders with us and the size of those orders. As a result, our net sales may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
We view the current data center infrastructure market as providing significant opportunity for growth. Currently, our market share is a small part of the overall market. However, the providers of the data center infrastructure industry’s products and technologies are increasing their utilization of indirect sales approaches to broaden their reach and optimize their margins. Increasingly, they are turning to companies like us to sell their products. While these trends provide opportunity for us, we must improve our business model to generate sustainable, profitable growth. Our model requires highly skilled sales and technical staff which results in substantial fixed costs for us. We believe the best way to improve our company and create long-term shareholder value is to focus on building scaleable capabilities and a leverageable cost structure. Our current strategies are focused on:
· increasing our sales team productivity;
· scaling our existing geographic locations and expanding into new locations;
· expanding our customer support revenues; and
· enhancing our professional services business.
To pursue these strategies, we are:
· improving our training, tools and recruiting efforts for sales and technical teams to increase productivity;
· investing in customer-facing teams to acquire top tier sales and technical talent that we believe will increase our market share in key locations;
· deepening our presence in existing enterprise accounts and penetrating new enterprise accounts;
· exploring potential acquisitions that we believe can strengthen our resources and capabilities in key geographic locations;
· targeting high growth market segments and deploying new technologies which to save costs for our customers;
· driving high levels of efficiency by streamlining our supply chain and expanding our professional services tools; and
· expanding our customer support capabilities and tools-based professional services offerings that we believe will provide more value to our customers.
All of these plans have various challenges and risks associated with them, including that:
· continued worldwide economic troubles may adversely affect our customers’ buying patterns;
· we may not increase our productivity and may lose, or not successfully recruit and retain key sales, technical or other personnel;
· competition is intense and may adversely impact our profit margin since customers have many options for data storage and infrastructure products and services; and

· we may not successfully identify acquisition candidates or profitably integrate any business we acquire.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We ended the third quarter of 2010 with an order backlog of $53 million, which represents firm orders we expect to recognize as revenue within the next 90 days. This compares to an order backlog of $44 million as of June 30, 2010 and $27 million as of September 30, 2009. In the current environment, we continue to see the negative impact of the worldwide economic downturn on many of our customers, resulting in greater scrutiny given to storage spending projects and providing us with less visibility into their purchasing plans. We have also had some customers decide to significantly delay the implementation of projects which they have already purchased and paid for. We cannot predict what impact these economic uncertainties will have on our profitability going forward.

The increase in our product revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009, reflects the impact of our acquisition of Incentra in December 2009. Our product revenues reflect a diversification in the mix of our offerings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 product sales represented 57% and 60%, respectively, of our total sales compared to 52% and 51%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2009. The increases are a result of the increase in product offerings due to our transition to servicing the complete data center. In addition to storage, our server and network sales have increased as we begin to realize synergies from our Incentra acquisition. Going forward, we expect our product revenues will continue to reflect our customers’ closer scrutiny of expenditures as they focus more attention on the actual or anticipated impact that current economic conditions may have on the growth and profitability of their businesses.
Our service sale increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009, was also due to the impact of our acquisition of Incentra in December 2009. With the decrease in product revenues in late 2008 and 2009, we expect our customer support contract revenues may suffer and we cannot assure that our future customer support contract sales will not decline without sustainable growth in our product revenues.

We had no single customer account for 10% or greater of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.
Gross Profit. Our total gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 24.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 25.7% for the comparable quarter in 2009. Our total gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 26.3% for the comparable period in 2009. Product gross profit as a percentage of product sales decreased to 22.7% in the third quarter of 2010 from 23.8% for the comparable quarter in 2009. Product gross profit as a percentage of product sales decreased to 21.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 24.8% for the same period in 2009. Service gross profit as a percentage of service sales decreased to 25.9% for the third quarter of 2010 from 27.8% for the comparable quarter in 2009. Service gross profit as a percentage of services sales decreased to 26.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 27.8% for the same period in 2009.
Our product gross profit as a percentage of product sales is impacted by the mix and type of projects we complete for our customers. Our product gross profit as a percentage of product sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was lower than prior periods as we implemented our strategy of selling total solutions into the data center, which includes lower margin servers and networking solutions. Our product gross profit as a percentage of product sales is also impacted by various vendor incentive programs that provide economic incentives for achieving various sales performance targets. Vendor incentives were $965,000 (3.2% of product cost of sales) and $415,000 (2.4% of product cost of sales), respectively, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Vendor incentives were $2.7 million (2.8% of product cost of sales) and $1.4 million (2.9% of product cost of sales), respectively, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Several of our vendors have tightened eligibility for their programs in the current economic climate and may further change or terminate their programs at any time. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will achieve and receive similar vendor incentives in the future. We expect that as we continue implementing our strategy to sell comprehensive data center solutions with servers and networking products, we will report lower product gross margins as networking products generate lower margins. We estimate that our product gross margins for the remainder of 2010 will be between 21% and 22%.
Our service gross profit as a percentage of service sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 1.9% and 1.7%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. This decrease is in part due to $127,000 and $783,000 of primarily Incentra-related acquisition accounting adjustments to reduce acquired maintenance contracts to fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. We expect these adjustments will continue to impact future quarters. Excluding these adjustments, service gross profit margin would have been 26.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 26.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, we have experienced a decrease in the mix of products we can provide for first call maintenance support on which generally have higher margins. We estimate that, taking into account the Incentra-related acquisition accounting adjustments, our service gross margins for the remainder of 2010 will be between 27% and 30%.
Our total gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes amortization of intangibles of $277,000 and $831,000, respectively, related to order backlog acquired in connection with our Incentra acquisition. This finite lived intangible has an estimated life of one year and will be fully amortized in 2010.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include wages and commission paid to sales and marketing personnel, travel costs and advertising, promotion and hiring expenses. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $8.3 million, or 11.9% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $5.0 million, or 11.8% of net sales for the third quarter in 2009. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $24.0 million, or 11.8% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $15.8 million, or 12.5% of net sales for the same period in 2009.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $3.2 and $8.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. This is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense in connection with our Incentra acquisition, which increased our sales and marketing headcount by approximately 73%.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include wages for administrative personnel, professional fees, depreciation, communication expenses and rent and related facility expenses. General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million, or 4.8% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3.3 million, or 7.7% of net sales for the third quarter in 2009. General and administrative expenses were $10.7 million, or 5.3% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $9.1 million, or 7.2% of net sales for the same period in 2009. Our general and administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of net sales for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009. This decrease reflects the impact of a modest increase in expenses related to the Incentra acquisition to support a significant increase in revenues.

Table of Contents
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, increased slightly by $64,000. General and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, was due to increased rent and facility charges of $1.1 million for the additional Incentra offices we acquired and expenses of $536,000 for our 2010 national sales meeting.
Engineering. Engineering expenses include employee wages, bonuses and travel, hiring and training expenses for our field and customer support engineers and technicians. Engineering expenses were $3.7 million, or 5.4% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2.8 million, or 6.6% of net sales for the third quarter in 2009. Engineering expenses were $12.0 million, or 5.9% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $8.6 million, or 6.8% of net sales for the same period in 2009.
Engineering expenses increased $901,000 and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The increase in engineering expenses is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense in connection with our Incentra acquisition, which increased our engineering headcount by approximately 31%.
Other Income. We had other income of $503,000 and $0 for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. Our Cross acquisition included a services agreement, which we also refer to as a reverse earn-out agreement, which required Cross to purchase at least $1.8 million of networking products and services from us over three years. Cross agreed to pay any shortfall between customer purchases and the guaranteed annual purchase amount. We believed that we would meet the revenue targets and accordingly, we determined that the reverse earn-out had no fair value at the date of this business combination or in any subsequent periods prior to the settlement date. At September 30, 2010 the first year of the three year reverse earn-out agreement came to an end and there was a shortfall between customer purchases and the guaranteed annual purchase of $503,000. Per the services agreement any shortfall between customer purchases and the guaranteed annual purchase amount would be payable by Cross at that time. Since we had assumed that the revenue targets would be met and the reverse earn-out had no fair value, the shortfall amount of $503,000 represented a change in fair value of the acquisition date reverse earn-out and, in accordance with ASC 805-30-35 was classified as other income within operation expenses on our statement of operations.
Integration and Transaction Costs. We had no integration and transaction costs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We had $581,000 and $0 of integration and transaction costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Integration costs for 2010 are related to facility abandonment costs and our transition services agreement which consists of transition benefits, retention bonuses and severances of terminated employees, some of whom assisted with the initial integration of Incentra.
Amortization of Intangibles. We had $659,000 of intangible asset amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to intangible amortization expenses of $178,000 for the same three months in 2009. We had $2.0 million of intangible asset amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to intangible amortization of expenses of $533,000 for the same nine months in 2009. Intangible asset amortization expenses increased due to the acquisitions of Cross and Incentra in 2009.
Earnings (loss) from Operations. We had earnings from operations of $1.4 million compared to a loss from operations of $386,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We had a loss from operations of $175,000 and $859,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The earnings from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 is a result of lower operating expenses for the quarter and our reverse earn-out related to the Cross acquisition. The loss from operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 is a result of integration and transaction costs and amortization of intangibles associated with our Incentra acquisition offset by the Cross reverse earn-out and an increase in our revenues and margins due to the Incentra acquisition. The loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is a result of a decrease in our revenues and margins due to the economic downturn.
Income Taxes. We had income tax expense of $657,000 and income tax benefit of $282,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We had income tax benefit of $49,000 and $381,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our estimated effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 46% and 30%, respectively. The effective tax rate has increased due to the effect of the permanent differences in relation to our projected income. Our estimated effective tax rate for 2009 was (55%). For the balance of 2010, we expect to report an income tax provision using an effective tax rate of approximately 57%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 | |
Total cash provided by (used in): | | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | 5,426 | | $ | (3,217 | ) |
Investing activities | | 1,703 | | (1,413 | ) |
Financing activities | | (2,877 | ) | (201 | ) |
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 4,252 | | $ | (4,831 | ) |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cash provided by operations was due primarily to non-cash add backs including depreciation of $681,000, amortization of intangibles of $2.0 million and an increase in net working capital of $1.7 million. Net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due primarily to a net decrease in payables net of receivables of $2.5 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $1.5 million primarily related to variable compensation.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.7 million and net cash used by investing activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The primary source and use of cash for the nine months of 2010 and 2009 came from our purchase and subsequent sale of short-term investments. We are planning for up to $500,000 of capital expenditures for the remainder of 2010 to enhance our management information systems and upgrade our computer equipment which will be funded by our cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from our operations.
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.9 million and $201,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We used $3.0 million of cash during the 2010 period to repay our Incentra acquisition promissory note. Net cash used in financing activities for the 2009 period was from tax withholding payments reimbursed by restricted stock.
We are currently exploring the possibility of obtaining a secured credit facility for the purpose of smoothing our operating cash flows, particularly, if we elect to take advantage of early pay discounts with some of our vendors. Nevertheless, with our current cash position, we believe we have the liquidity to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. We have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to pursue possible future equity fundraising to support our acquisition strategy and increase our general working capital.
Our contractual cash obligations consist of future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases. These obligations are for the last three months of 2010 and each of the full years thereafter as follows:
| | (in thousands) | |
| | Lease Obligations | | Sublease Agreements | | Net Lease Obligations | |
2010 | | $ | 607 | | $ | (180 | ) | $ | 427 | |
2011 | | 2,192 | | (719 | ) | 1,473 | |
2012 | | 1,064 | | (239 | ) | 825 | |
2013 | | 429 | | — | | 429 | |
Thereafter | | 383 | | — | | 383 | |
| | $ | 4,675 | | $ | (1,138 | ) | $ | 3,537 | |
