NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tier One Consulting, Inc., and the majority (55%) owned subsidiary, Caneum India Pvt. Ltd., formerly Continuum Systems Private Limited, an Indian corporation (“Continuum”) acquired on December 31, 2006. The remaining 45% of the outstanding stock of Caneum India was acquired on June 6, 2007, when Continuum became a wholly (100%) owned subsidiary of the Company. However one share is held by Suki Mudan, President of Caneum, Inc., as nominee shareholder but the beneficial ownership continues to be held by Caneum Asia Pacific Pte Limited. This was a requirement for compliance with Indian regulations which mandate that a company must have a minimum of two (2) shareholders. Continuum was renamed Caneum India Private Limited (“Caneum India”). This acquisition of Caneum India occurred through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Caneum Asia Pacific PTE LTD. (“Caneum Asia Pacific”), formed in Singapore on December 21, 2006. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of Caneum India from June 6, 2007, the date of acquisition of the remaining 45% of the outstanding stock. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of services. Revenue is recognized as services are performed in accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104,Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss have passed, the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company records all expense reimbursements billed to customers as revenue, and related costs as cost of sales, when incurred, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 01-14 “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses.”
Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that it operates and reports as one single segment.

Caneum, Inc.,

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123R”) which revises SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB 25”). SFAS 123R requires all share based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value using an option pricing model.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method which requires that share based payments granted prior to adoption be expensed prospectively as they are earned. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value stock option awards and has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees under SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. As such, the value of such options is periodically re-measured and income or expense is recognized during their vesting terms.
Foreign Currency
Our foreign subsidiary’s functional currency is the Indian Rupee, their local currency. Translation of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities is at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Translation of shareholders’ equity is at historical rates. Translation of income and expenses is at the average exchange rates for the applicable period. Adjustments from these translations are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Transactions gains and losses arising from activities in other than the functional currency are calculated using average exchanges rates for the applicable period and reported in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as a non-operating item in each period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income
The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income. The Company reports the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income or loss separately in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The only component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, including goodwill, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133”. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company currently engages in no hedging activities through use of derivative instruments.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.162 “The Hierarchy of General Accepted Accounting Principals”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principals to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernment entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP Hierarchy). This standard is not expected to have any impact on our financial statements.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had negative working capital of $2,090,803 and an accumulated deficit of $9,994,291. These results and the Company’s reliance on obtaining investment funding raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are discussed below. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty; however, the company is also currently exploring merger options to achieve greater synergies
The net loss for 2007 includes a significant amount of non-recurrent expenses specifically related to legal, accounting, auditing and public filing expenses associated with the resulting restatement of our 2006 quarterly filings and the extended period of time and prolonged difficulties associated with the completion of our 2006 audit.
During the third quarter of 2008, management does not expect to continue to incur significant cash losses from operations. However, additional capital may be required to continue to fund the Company’s operations. Management is actively bridging cash shortfalls in 2008, by additional fund raising activities from both existing and new investors alike. A $1,000,000 private placement in the form of a Promissory Note (Note 4) was commenced in March 2008 and $500,000 has been raised since then. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful with any additional fund raising activity.
In August 2008, the Company initiated a Services Agreement, whereby certain of its vendor liabilities are managed and paid by an outside company for a small mark up charge.

NOTE 9 — LITIGATION
Barron Litigation
On or about August 17, 2007, the Company filed a complaint against Barron Partners LP in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Complaint alleged that Barron committed numerous material breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement it entered into with the Company on or about March 24, 2006, including by engaging in trading activity in Caneum common stock that violates the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Complaint seeks, inter alia, damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and a declaratory judgment that Barron’s material breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement excuse the Company from further performance under the Stock Purchase Agreement. In a letter dated August 9, 2007, Barron demanded that the Company issue 2,600,000 additional shares of preferred stock to Barron because the Company did not meet the Adjusted EBITDA goals provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2006 as interpreted by Barron. The Company’s complaint alleged that Barron’s material breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement excused the Company from any obligation to issue additional stock to Barron.
Barron Partners LP filed an answer to this complaint, denying the allegations in the Company’s complaint. Barron also filed a counterclaim alleging breach of contract for failure to meet the adjusted EBITDA goals, the Company’s failure to maintain the effectiveness of its registration statement, and its failure to maintain a quotation for its stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Barron claimed damages in the amount of approximately 2,000,000 shares and an unspecified cash amount.
This litigation was settled out of court on May 19, 2008. Under the terms of our settlement agreement with Barron Partners, we paid them $200,000 on June 26, 2008, and they delivered for cancellation a stock certificate representing 330,397 shares of our common stock, a preferred stock certificate representing 3,332,500 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, an A Warrant certificate for 3,640,000 shares, a B Warrant certificate for 2,000,000 shares, and a C Warrant certificate for 2,000,000 shares, all of which have been cancelled. The common shares were returned to the authorized but unissued shares of the Company. The next payment of $100,000 to Barron Partners was made on July 23, 2008, and the final payments of $100,000 each are due on or before August 22, 2008, and September 21, 2008, respectively.

Innofone Litigation
The Company filed an action in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against Innofone, Inc. on or about November 13, 2006, alleging that Innofone breached its contracts with us by failing to pay approximately $200,000. Innofone then filed counterclaims alleging breach of contract and fraud. At a hearing on October 31, 2007, brought by the Company to seek summary judgment in the Innofone case, the Company was unsuccessful in seeking a summary judgment; the matter was scheduled for trial on November 29, 2007. On February 11, 2008, the court granted judgment in favor of the Company against Innofone in the amount of $198,203 and awarded us prejudgment interest in the amount of $27,122.

On October 22, 2007, PCI filed an answer generally denying the allegations contained in the Company’s complaint. It also alleged affirmative defenses that the Company overcharged PCI for the services due to the poor quality of the work performed and that therefore, PCI is due credits or offsets from the fees owed. The Company intends to pursue this matter vigorously.

Results of Operations
Three and Six months ended June 30, 2008, versus the Three and Six months ended June 30, 2007
Revenue
Revenue was $3,282,784 and $3,241,315 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $41,469 compared to the same period in the prior year (the “comparable prior year period”). An increasing proportion of our revenue came from our largest customer, DIRECTV, which accounted for almost 46% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the prior year period DIRECTV accounted for approximately 22% of our total revenue.
20
Revenue was $6,519,408 and $5,991,688 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $527,720 or 9% as compared to the same period in the prior year (the “comparable prior year period”). A significant portion of increase was due to expanded operations at out largest customer, DIRECTV, which accounted for almost 44% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The other significant contribution to the revenue increase was increased BPO services through our wholly owned India subsidiary.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue was $2,742,409 and $2,541,978 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $200,431, or 8%. The increase was partly due to decreased margins as discussed below.
Cost of revenue was $5,469,496 and $4,730,190 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $739,306, or 16%. The increase was due to increased activity at DirecTV as described above, as well as decreased margins as discussed below.
Our gross margin percentages were 16% and 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin percentages was the result of three factors: higher commission payments to recruiters, a lower proportion of permanent placements (which are typically much higher margins) and a decline in the volume of high margin business with one of our key clients, DIRECTV.
Our gross margin percentages were 16% and 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin percentages was the result of three factors: higher commission payments to recruiters, a lower proportion of permanent placements (which are typically much higher margins) and a decline in the volume of high margin business with one of our key clients, DIRECTV.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $1,124,476 and $1,187,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing a decrease of $63,363 or 5%. A significant factor for the decrease was U.S. payroll and professional services, as described below offset by higher office rent of $32,321.
21
The major components of our operating expenses are as follows:
• Stock-Based Compensation expense and Expenses Paid by Stock Issuance were $363,825 and $280,323 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This represents a increase of $83,502 and is due to issuance of a stock bonus to each our Chairman and President valued at $60,000 offset by the lower value of our stock used as incentives for other services.
• U.S. Payroll and Related Expenses, (excluding stock based) amounted to $319,093 and $345,790 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease of $26,697 or 8% resulted from the departure of three senior executives in April and May 2008.
• U.S. Professional Services, including legal, auditing and other consulting services amounted to $244,609 and $290,872 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The decrease of $46,263 was primarily attributable to the prior year period including increased audit and accounting costs due to the late filing of our Form 10-KSB for year ended December 31, 2006.
• Most expenses of our wholly-owned India subsidiary are a direct cost of revenue and are recoded as such. Operating expenses of our India subsidiary, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $105,300 and $62,161 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Operating expenses were $2,203,847 and $2,297,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing a decrease of $93,947 or 4%. A significant factor for the decrease was $82,281 less stock based compensation expense and expenses paid by stock issuance, as described below offset by higher office rent of $65,704.
The major components of our operating expenses are as follows:
• Stock-Based Compensation expense and Expenses Paid by Stock Issuance were $533,934 and $616,215 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This represents a decrease of $82,281 and principally results from the lower value of our stock used as incentives for services.
• U.S. Payroll and Related Expenses, (excluding stock based) amounted to $726,418 and $689,351 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase of $37,067 or 5% resulted from increased investment in infrastructure personal prior to the departure of three senior executives in April and May 2008.
• U.S. Professional Services, including legal, auditing and other consulting services amounted to $431,521 and $418,150 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The increase of $13,371 was primarily attributable to the legal costs associated with litigation against Barron Partners LP.
• Most expenses of our wholly-owned India subsidiary are a direct cost of revenue and are recoded as such. Operating expenses of our India subsidiary, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $214,332 and $115,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
22
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended June 30, 2008 we recorded other expense, net of $4,055 compared to other expense, net of $90,276 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in other expense, net resulted from $53,308 of foreign exchange gain during the current year period versus $38,745 of foreign exchange loss during the prior year period. The foreign exchange gain and loss is due to our wholly owned subsidiary transacting business in currencies other than their functional currency. Net interest expense increased $5,832 from the prior year period primarily due to interest expense associated with our promissory note offering.
Other expense, net was $49,523 and $157,071 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in other expense was primarily the result of $63,146 of foreign exchange gain in the current year period versus $53,048 of foreign exchange loss in the prior year period. Net interest expense increased $8,646 from the prior year period due to interest expense associated with our promissory note offering as well as six months of borrowings on our Bridge Bank line of credit compared to only four months of borrowings in the prior year period.
Net loss
We incurred a net loss of $601,330 and $601,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We incurred a net loss of $1,218,272 and $1,287,451 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $50,070 and $117,313 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Net cash used in operations was $175,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $823,868 used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash used in operations in the current year period was reduced due to timely collection of receivables as well as extension of payables. Besides our cash loss from operations, the prior year period use of cash was due to extension of receivables funded by borrowings on our Bridge Bank line of credit.
Net cash used in investing activities was $16,135 and $126,088 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The prior year period included $89,300 of acquisition expenditures for the remaining 45% Minority Interest of Continuum.
23
Net cash provided by financing activities was $200,610 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $713,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. During the current year period we repurchased from Barron Partners all outstanding convertible Preferred Shares and 330,397 common shares for $500,000, of which $200,000 was paid as of June 30, 2008. Following the repurchase, all of the shares were retired. The funds for the share repurchase were obtained by selling our convertible promissory notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we raised $500,000 from the sales of convertible promissory notes. The current year also includes some reduction in notes payable to the prior Tier One shareholders as well as some reduction in our Bridge Bank line of credit. The prior year period included $1,232,671 of advances from our lines of credit, offset by principal payments of $467,700 to the prior Tier One shareholders, $50,000 to a prior shareholder of Continuum Systems (now wholly owned as Caneum India) and $26,157 of other debt.
In March 2008, in conjunction with our promissory note offering, we converted $200,000 of the Tier One principal balance into promissory notes due in 2011. The remaining balance of $23,948 for the first installment on the Tier One acquisition debt was also paid off in March 2008. The final installment of $687,500 initially due March 28, 2008, was refinanced into a series of thirty-nine monthly installment payments of $20,000 beginning May 15, 2008 and going through July 15, 2011, with a final payment of $10,031 due August 15, 2011. The note bears 8% interest and any remaining balance becomes immediately due upon change of control of the Company. The unpaid balance at June 30, 2008 was $661,670.
In August 2008, we initiated a Services Agreement, whereby certain of our vendor liabilities are managed and paid by an outside company for a small mark up charge.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Upon our initial evaluation, our senior management identified several material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We continue to investigate further and to apply compensating procedures and processes, as necessary and within the constraints of our financial means, to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting and are evaluating and intend to adopt measures designed to remediate any weaknesses.
Our controls and procedures are inadequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on an initial assessment that has not been completed yet, management has determined that the Company’s disclosure controls as of June 30, 2008, were ineffective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last quarter ended June 30, 2008, which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
