We team with our clients to deliver sustainable and measurable results.

We work with our customers to assess, design, and provide customized advice and solutions that are tailored to address each clients particular needs. We provide solutions and services to a wide variety of organizations including Fortune 500 companies, medium-sized businesses and governmental entities. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Amounts invested may exceed federally insured limits at any given time. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits (FDIC limits are $250,000). The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that the risk of loss is remote. Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense, if any, is included in general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $383,503 and $356,597, respectively. Marketable securities: Marketable equity securities are accounted for as trading securities and are stated at market value with unrealized gains and losses accounted for in other income (expense). Property and equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions are reflected in income. Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets: Our intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks, non-compete agreements and purchased customer relationships, all of which are accounted for based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Impairment testing: Our goodwill impairment testing is calculated at the reporting unit level. Our annual impairment test has two steps. The first identifies potential impairments by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded. The impairment test for the other intangible assets is performed by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the intangible asset or to its related group of assets, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. We predominately use a discounted cash flow model derived from internal budgets and forecasts in assessing fair values for our impairment testing. Factors that could change the result of our impairment test include, but are not limited to, different assumptions used to forecast future net sales, expenses, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements used in our cash flow models. In addition, selection of a risk-adjusted discount rate on the estimated undiscounted cash flows is susceptible to future changes in market conditions, and when unfavorable, can adversely affect our original estimates of fair values. In the event that management determines that the value of intangible assets have become impaired using this approach, we will record an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment. The Company also engages an independent valuation expert to assist it in performing the valuation and analysis of fair values of goodwill and intangibles. The Companys annual goodwill impairment testing date is October 1 of each year. In determining impairment charges, the Company uses various valuation techniques using both the income approach and market approach at each reporting unit in accordance with FASB ASC 350.The Company did not record an impairment charge during 2015. During 2014, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment write-down of $6,363,630 related to the Energy Solutions segment which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. The balance recorded as goodwill as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is $15,676,246 and $4,352,177, respectively, net of accumulated impairment of $16,969,662 for both periods. Intangible assets, other than goodwill, consist of customer relationships, non-competition agreements and trademarks/trade names. The fair market value of the customer relationships were determined by discounting the expected future cash flows from the acquired customers. The value of the non-competition agreements were estimated from the percentage of discounted cash flows expected to be lost if the agreement was not in place. The Company performed its annual impairment test and determined there was no impairment during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In addition, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, it was determined that a full impairment of the trade name and customer list intangible assets related to the Energy Solutions segment was required and such impairment was recorded during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $429,394 at September 30, 2014. Customer relationships acquired are being amortized over the estimated useful life of four or five years. Non-competition agreements are being amortized over the life of the agreement. Acquired trademarks/trade names are being amortized over five or fifteen years. Total intangibles balances, prior to accumulated amortization, were $7,245,112 and $664,648 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, accumulated amortization of intangible assets totaled $1,735,470 and $513,025, respectively. Amortization expense on these intangible assets of $1,222,446 and $222,476 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included as depreciation and amortization on the Statement of Operations. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the next five years and thereafter is expected to be as follows for the years ended: December 31, 2016 $ 1,311,836 December 31, 2017 862,103 December 31, 2018 790,429 December 31, 2019 781,262 December 31, 2010 220,838 Thereafter 1,543,174 $ 5,509,642 Revenue recognition: The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of any agreement exists, services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured; therefore, revenue is recognized when the Company invoices customers for completed services at contracted rates and terms. Therefore, revenue recognition may differ from the timing of cash receipts. Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes FASB ASC Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the balance sheet. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement and classification of amounts related to uncertain tax positions, accounting for and disclosure of interest and penalties, accounting in interim period disclosures and transition relating to the adoption of new accounting standards. Under FASB ASC Topic 740-10, the recognition for uncertain tax positions should be based on a more-likely-than-not threshold that the tax position will be sustained upon audit. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent probability of being realized upon settlement. Derivative Warrant Liability: The Company evaluates warrants issued in connection with debt and preferred stock issuances to determine if those contracts, or any potential embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and carried at fair value. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded in the Statement of Operations as either income or expense. Upon expiration or exercise of the warrants, the derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity. The fair value at each balance sheet date and the change in value for each class of warrant derivative is disclosed in detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Share-based compensation: The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Fees From Factoring Arrangement: Fees charged to the Company from its factoring arrangement for accounts receivable sold with full recourse include an administrative fee that is incurred upon funding of the factored invoices to the Company and a closing fee that is incurred when payment of the original accounts receivable amount is paid to the factoring company by the Companys customer. Administrative and closing fees from the factoring arrangement are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currencies of the Companys foreign operations are the local currencies. The consolidated financial statements of the Companys foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of Operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Accumulated net translation adjustments have been reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Recent accounting pronouncements: In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, a standard to provide for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2015-14 requires application of ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date (i.e. for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of this standard will have on the Companys financial position or results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides GAAP guidance on managements responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a companys ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. Upon adoption the Company will use the guidance in ASU 2014-15 to assess going concern uncertainty matters. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. ASU 2016-02 affects companies that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets referred to as Lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption will be permitted for all companies and organizations upon issuance of the standard. See Note 14 for the Companys current lease commitments. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements. Since January 1, 2015, there have been several other new accounting pronouncements and updates to the Accounting Standards Codification. Each of these updates has been reviewed by Management who does not believe their adoption has had or will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or operating results. |
2. Fair Value Measurements
2. Fair Value Measurements | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2015 | |
Notes to Financial Statements | |
Fair Value Measurements | We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Level 3 inputs that are unobservable (for example the probability of a capital raise in a binomial methodology for valuation of a derivative liability directly related to the issuance of common stock warrants). Derivative Instruments: We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and the issuance of preferred stock with detachable common stock warrants features that are either i) not afforded equity classification, ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value. Certain of our derivative instruments are detachable (or free-standing) common stock purchase warrants issued in conjunction with debt or preferred stock. We estimate fair values of these derivatives utilizing Level 2 inputs for all warrants issued, other than those associated with Series C Preferred Stock. Other than the Series C Preferred Stock warrants, we use the Black-Scholes option valuation technique as it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, remaining term to maturity, market price, strike price, and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments, for they do not contain material down round protection (otherwise referred to as anti-dilution and full ratchet provisions). For the warrants directly related to the Series C Preferred Stock, the warrant contracts do contain Down Round Protections and the Black-Scholes option valuation technique does not, in its valuation calculation, give effect for the additional value inherently attributable to the Down Round Protection mechanisms in its contractual arrangement. Valuation models and techniques have been developed and are widely accepted that take into account the additional value inherent in Down Round Protection. These techniques include Modified Binomial, Monte Carlo Simulation and the Lattice Model. The core assumptions and inputs to the Binomial model are the same as for Black-Scholes, such as trading volatility, remaining term to maturity, market price, strike price, and risk free rates; all Level 2 inputs. However, a key input to the Binomial model (in our case, the Monte Carlo Simulation, for which we engage an independent valuation firm to perform) is the probability of a future capital raise which would trigger the Down Round Protection feature. By definition, this input assumption does not meet the requirements for Level 1 or Level 2 outlined above; therefore, the entire fair value calculation for the Series C Common Stock Warrants is deemed to be Level 3. This input to the Monte Carlo Simulation model, was developed with significant input from management based on its knowledge of the business, current financial position and the strategic business plan with its best efforts. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has determined that the Black-Scholes model valuation for the Series C warrants was not materially different than the Binomial model due to the remaining period before warrant expiration being less than 3 months and the current market price of the Companys stock being in excess of the down round trigger price of $0.77. As a result, the valuation of the Series C warrants as of December 31, 2015 was performed using the Black-Scholes model to approximate the Binomial model valuation. Additionally, as a part of the Merger Agreement with IPSA International, Inc., (see Note 3) the Company was subject to issue additional shares of the Companys stock based on the performance of the Companys stock as of the 18 month anniversary of the transaction as well as the attainment of certain financial benchmarks by the IPSA subsidiary. If 18 months from the IPSA transaction closing (February 9, 2015), the Companys stock price was below $1.30, the Company was to issue additional shares, up to a maximum of 2.5 million shares, such that the value on the 18 month anniversary of the shares issued at closing is equal to the value at the closing. The issuance of any shares based on the stock price on the 18 month anniversary was only to occur if the IPSA subsidiary contributed $39 million and $4.5 million to the Companys net revenue and earnings before income taxes, respectively, for the 12 months after closing. The potential issuance of shares (contingent value right) is a derivative liability. The contingent value right had been valued on a quarterly basis utilizing a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which includes significant level 3 inputs, and the fair value of the contingent value right has been included as a Derivative Liability. On October 9, 2015, the Company and IPSA amended the Merger Agreement to remove the provision relating to the contingent value right. Therefore as of December 31, 2015 there was no value assigned to this contingent value right. Estimating fair values of these derivative financial instruments require the use of significant and subjective inputs that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are volatile and sensitive to changes in our trading market price, the trading market price of various peer companies and other key assumptions such as the probability of a capital raise for the Monte Carlo Simulation described above. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, our operating results will reflect this sensitivity of internal and external factors. The key quantitative assumptions related to the Series C Common Stock Warrants, issued March 3, 2011 and expiring March 3, 2016, are as follows: December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Expected Life (Years) 0.2 1.2 Risk Free Rate 0.15 % 0.32 % Volatility 38.06 % 26.78 % Probability of a Capital Raise 100 % 8-95 % Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (for the Company, only derivative liabilities related to common stock purchase warrants, issued in conjunction with debt and preferred stock issuances) are summarized below and disclosed on the balance sheet under Derivative liability: December 31, 2015 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative Liability Common Stock Purchase Warrants: Debentures $ - $ - Series B Preferred Stock - - Promissory Notes 2,189 2,189 Series D Preferred Stock 2,904,849 2,904,849 Series C Preferred Stock 633,046 633,046 Total $ 3,540,084 $ 2,907,038 $ 633,046 December 31, 2014 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative Liability Common Stock Purchase Warrants: Debentures $ - $ - Series B Preferred Stock 794,633 794,633 Promissory Notes 225,897 225,897 Series D Preferred Stock 3,325,449 3,325,449 Series C Preferred Stock 6,305,260 6,305,260 Total $ 10,651,239 $ 4,345,979 $ 6,305,260 The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (for the Company, only derivative liabilities related to common stock purchase warrants, issued in conjunction with certain debt and preferred stock issuances) measured at fair value on a recurring basis for all derivatives, both level 2 and those using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 or only the common stock purchase warrants directly related to Series C Preferred Stock) for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Acquisitions | We have acquired certain businesses, as set forth below and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements include the results of operations of each acquired business since the date of acquisition. IPSA International, Inc. On February 6, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with IPSA International, Inc. (IPSA). On February 9, 2015, the Company and IPSA consummated and closed the Merger, which was accounted for as a business acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Merger, the Corporation issued 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, valued at $13,300,000 to the stockholders of IPSA (the Stock Consideration), as well as paid $2,500,000 in cash to such stockholders. In conjunction with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the stockholders of IPSA whereby the Company agreed to provide piggyback registration rights to the holders of the Stock Consideration. The Company also entered into an employment agreement with Dan Wachtler, the CEO of IPSA. The Company incurred acquisition related costs of $649,442 and these were included in operating expenses. IPSA specializes in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) operational, investigative and remedial services, AML risk advisory and consulting services, conducting high-end investigations with expertise in services ranging from complex financial crime and intellectual property issues to conducting anti-bribery investigations or due diligence on a potential partner or customer. Additionally IPSA provides investigative services related to passport issuances by foreign countries. IPSA has offices in the U.S., Canada, U.K., U.A.E. and Hong Kong and a talent base that is focused on assisting clients in making better-informed decisions to protect their investments and assets. Valuation work was completed during the fourth quarter and as a result amounts for other long term assets and goodwill were adjusted by $163,698 from those previously reported on Form 10Q as of September 30, 2015. The following table presents the final purchase price allocation: Consideration $ 15,800,000 Assets Acquired: Current Assets $ 11,798,564 Property and Equipment, net 29,180 Other long term assets 712,353 Intangible assets 6,580,464 Goodwill 11,324,069 Total assets acquired 30,444,630 Liabilities Assumed: Accounts Payable 1,546,117 Factored Receivables Obligation 6,488,748 Accrued Expenses 1,990,857 Dividends Payable 1,100,000 Deferred Income Tax non current 3,287,524 Derivative contingent value right 231,384 Total liabilities assumed 14,644,630 Net Assets Acquired $ 15,800,000 The acquired intangibles include customer relationships valued at $3,056,856 being amortized over 5 years, trademarks valued at $2,548,364 being amortized over 15 years and a non-compete agreement valued at $975,244 being amortized over 2 years. As a part of the purchase price allocation, the Company recorded net deferred tax assets, which were recorded on IPSAs books at the time of acquisition, of approximately $556,000. In connection with the purchase price allocation, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $2,842,000, with a corresponding increase to goodwill, for the tax effect of the acquired identifiable intangible assets from IPSA. This liability was recorded as there will be no future tax deductions related to the acquired intangibles but they will be amortized as described above for financial reporting purposes. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had determined that it was more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets would not be realized and therefore had recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax assets (which were $7,543,910 at December 31, 2014). Upon the acquisition, the Company evaluated the likelihood that the acquired deferred tax assets and liabilities would be realized and, as a result of that evaluation, recorded an increase to the valuation allowance of approximately $474,000 related to the acquired deferred tax assets and recorded a reduction in the valuation allowance of approximately $2,842,000 related to the deferred tax liability associated with the acquired identifiable intangible assets. The net amount of these two adjustments to the Companys valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets was approximately $2,368,000 and is included in the income tax benefit on the Companys consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Notes Payable | Between October 23, 2014 and November 21, 2014, the Company issued $1,800,000 of 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (the Promissory Notes) and warrants to purchase 630,000 shares of the Companys common stock (the Warrants) to accredited investors. The Promissory Notes have a term of 12 months, pay interest semi-annually at 10% per annum and can be voluntarily converted by the holder into shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.12 per share and have a term of five years. The fair value of the Warrants was $140,513 and was recorded as a debt discount and credited to Additional Paid-In Capital. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the promissory notes. During the second quarter of 2015, $200,000 of the Promissory Notes were converted to common stock. On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into Note Extension Agreements with existing Noteholders who hold the Promissory Notes. Pursuant to the Note Extension Agreements, the Noteholders, who held Promissory Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $1,600,000 which were scheduled to mature between October 23, 2015 and November 21, 2015, agreed to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Notes to May 21, 2016. As consideration for agreeing to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Notes, the Company agreed to issue the Noteholders five year common stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The fair value of the Warrants was $83,031 and was recorded as a debt discount and credited to Additional Paid-In Capital. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the extended term of the Promissory Notes. The outstanding amount of Promissory Notes (net of the debt discount) at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1,540,693 and $1,670,765, respectively. |

Stock Options: In May 2008, the Company and shareholders adopted a stock incentive plan, entitled the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), authorizing the Company to grant stock options of up to 10,000,000 common shares for employees and key consultants. On August 13, 2014, the Companys stockholders approved an amendment to the Companys 2008 Stock Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan to 20,000,000. All options are approved by the Compensation Committee. As of December 31, 2015, there were 9,639,916 shares available for grant under the Plan. The Companys results for 2015 and 2014 include stock option based compensation expense of $1,129,000 and $757,000, respectively. These amounts are included within Selling, General & Administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations. There were no tax benefits recognized in 2015 or 2014 for stock option based compensation. Years Ended December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Exercise price $ 1.20 - $2.32 $ 0.54 - $2.00 Risk free interest rate 0.80% to 1.84% 0.66% to 2.09% Volatility 27.62% - 60.7 % 29.65% - 37.13 % Expected Term 2.5 Years 5.5 Years 2.5 Years - 6 Years Dividend yield None None The Company grants stock options to key employees and Board members at prices not less than the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the grant date. Options issued expire either at five or ten years from the date of grant. The options are exercisable either immediately or based on a vesting schedule over 1 to 4 years. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis based on the applicable vesting schedule. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate the grant date fair value of each option. The fair values of options granted were estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions: The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not currently pay dividends on its common stock. As the Companys common stock has very low trading volume, volatility is calculated based on the average volatility of a group which includes the Company and peer companies. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates on the grant date with maturity dates approximating the expected life of the option on the grant date. The expected term is an estimate based on the average of the date of vesting and the end of term of the option. These assumptions are evaluated and revised for future grants, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. There were no significant changes made to the methodology used to determine the assumptions during 2015. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted was $0.51 during 2015 and $0.21 during 2014. The following represents the activity under the stock incentive plan as of December 31, 2015 and changes during the two years then ended: Weighted Average Outstanding Options Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2013 5,639,864 $ 0.83 Issued 6,585,000 $ 0.80 Exercised (33,334 ) $ 0.70 Forfeitures (881,666 ) $ 0.85 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 11,309,864 $ 0.81 Issued 3,140,000 $ 1.37 Exercised (3,053,397 ) $ 0.66 Forfeitures (1,036,383 ) $ 1.07 Outstanding at December 31, 2015 10,360,084 $ 1.01 Exercisable at December 31, 2015 7,439,084 $ 0.97 The weighted-average remaining contractual life for options outstanding at December 31, 2015 was 6.8 years and for options exercisable at December 31, 2015 was 5.9 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2015 was $4,396,128 and for options exercisable at December 31, 2015 was $3,379,022. As of December 31, 2015 there was approximately $2,270,855 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options. The unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years. On December 8, 2015, the Company issued 2,025,000 stock options to employees. The vesting of these options is contingent on shareholder approval of an increase in the amount of authorized shares of common stock at the next annual meeting. In the event that the shareholders do not approve the increase in authorized shares the options will be cancelled. The Company has determined that due to the contingent vesting of these options, the grant date has not occurred as of December 31, 2015 and as a result, they are not included in the Companys outstanding stock options at December 31, 2015. Warrants: The Company predominantly issues warrants to purchase Common Stock in connection with the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock, Convertible Notes and equity financings. The Company has also issued warrants for service to board members and outside companies. Additionally, the Company has issued warrants in connection with an acquisition. 7,156,144 of the 25,867,753 outstanding warrants have been issued in connection with equity instruments and are accounted for as a derivative liability. The remaining 18,711,609 warrants were issued for services to board members or external companies, in connection with acquisitions, or in connection with the issuance of convertible notes or equity instruments and have been recorded based on fair value. The warrants expire 3 or 5 years from the date of issuance. Generally, warrants vest immediately or over a vesting schedule of between 1 and 3 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes or Binomial valuation method, as appropriate, to estimate the grant date fair value of each warrant. The Company issued 75,000 and 297,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock in exchange for service during 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Companys results for the years 2015 and 2014, include expense related to warrants issued for services of $18,000 and $38,000, respectively. These amounts are included within Selling, General & Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Warrant holders exercised 1,546,308 warrants to purchase common stock, some of which were cashless exercises, during 2015. The weighted average price of the exercised warrants was $0.76 and the Company received $881,335 in proceeds and issued 1,379,306 shares of common stock as a result of these exercises. During 2014, warrant holders exercised 1,186,300 warrants to purchase common stock, some of which were cashless exercises. The weighted average price of the exercised warrants was $0.71 and the Company received $438,550 in proceeds and issued 795,095 shares of common stock as a result of these exercises. On August 11, 2015 (the Closing Date), the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with the holders of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Companys common stock (the Holders), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,142,856 shares of the Companys common stock (the Replacement Warrants) in exchange for the cancellation of the Holders existing warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,142,856 shares of the Companys common stock (the Prior Warrants). The Holders consist of (i) River Charitable Remainder Unitrust f/b/o Isaac Blech (the Trust), of which Isaac Blech, a current Director of the Company, is the sole trustee; and (ii) Miriam Blech, the wife of Isaac Blech. The Prior Warrants had an exercise price of $0.77 per share, contained weighted-average anti-dilution price protection and contained an expiration date of March 3, 2016. The Replacement Warrants have an exercise price of $1.20 per share, are not exercisable for a period of eighteen months from the Closing Date and expire on the three year anniversary of the Closing Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to seek shareholder approval for an increase in the Companys authorized capital stock within twelve months of the Closing Date. In the event the Company fails to obtain approval of the proposal relating to such increase in the Companys authorized capital stock the Company has agreed to resubmit such proposal to its stockholders within three (3) months after the result of the prior meeting is rendered. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, the Prior Warrants, which were recorded as a derivative liability were valued at $2,618,049 as of August 11, 2015 and cancelled and removed from derivative liabilities and the Replacement Warrants, which were determined to be equity instruments, were recorded to additional paid in capital in the same amount. The fair values of warrants granted for service were estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions: Years Ended December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Exercise price $ 1.50 $ 0.75 - $1.12 Risk free interest rate 0.39% to 0.46% 0.63% to 1.87% Volatility 26.47% - 26.66 % 28.93% - 36.91 % Expected Term 1.5 Years 2.5 Years 5.75 Years Dividend yield None None The following represents the stock warrant activity as of December 31, 2015 and changes during the two years then ended: Outstanding Warrants Weighted Average Outstanding at December 31, 2013 19,112,360 $ 1.11 Issued 927,000 $ 1.05 Exercised (1,186,300 ) $ 0.71 Cancelled (100,000 ) $ 0.75 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 18,753,060 $ 1.06 Issued 15,848,643 $ 1.09 Exercised (1,546,308 ) $ 0.76 Cancelled (7,187,642 ) $ 0.80 Outstanding at December 31, 2015 25,867,753 $ 1.16 |

Commitments and Contingencies | Platte River Insurance Company (Platte River) instituted an action on April 8, 2015 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in which Platte River claims that the Company signed as a co-indemnitor in support of surety bonds issued by Platte River on behalf of Prime Solutions for the benefit of Honeywell pursuant to Prime Solutions, Inc.s (Prime) solar project located in Worcester Massachusetts (the Prime Contract). The Company filed its answer to the complaint, denying the allegations of Platte River. On February 1, 2016 the Company received a demand letter from Platte River for immediate payment of an $868,617 claim under the terms of the co-indemnity agreement. The Company continues to deny the allegations and will not agree to the demand. The Companys maximum liability exposure under the bond is $1,412,544, if Prime failed to meet its contracted obligations. In October 2014, the Company determined it probable that Prime did fail to meet its contracted obligations under the Prime Contract, and therefore, the potential existed that the Company may have to meet outstanding Prime Contract obligations. The Company has evaluated the status of the project, amounts paid to date on the contract and assessed the remaining work to be performed. Notwithstanding the demand letter from Platte River, the Company continues to believe its potential obligation under the Prime Contract is approximately $650,000, and that amount was accrued as a Selling, General and Administrative expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during 2014. Legal Proceedings: The Company and two senior executives of the Company are named as defendants in a class action proceeding filed on June 23, 2015, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. On September 24, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted a motion to transfer the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. On October 14, 2015, the Court appointed David Hampton as Lead Plaintiff and approved Hamptons selection of the law firm Levi & Korsinsky LLP as Lead Counsel. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on January 4, 2016. The Amended Complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of a class of persons who purchased shares of the Companys common stock between October 17, 2014 and June 15, 2015. In general, the Amended Complaint alleges that false or misleading statements were made or that there was a failure to make appropriate disclosures concerning the Companys cyber security business and products. On February 18, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs opposition to the motion to dismiss is due on or before April 4, 2016, and Defendants reply is due on or before May 4, 2016. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Liquidity and Capital Resources | As of December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $795,682, compared to $765,099 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $30,583. The increase is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the equity financing, stock and warrant exercise transactions during 2015 which totaled approximately $16,100,000, offset by the net cash used in operations and investing activities during 2015 of approximately $12,400,000 and $3,800,000, respectively. After financings in the first quarter of 2016 (see below), our cash position has increased and outstanding cash and cash equivalents at March 11, 2016 was approximately $5.5 million. Our objective from a liquidity perspective is to use operating cash flows to fund day to day operations. In both 2015 and 2014 we did not achieve this objective, as cash flow from operations in the 2015 and 2014 has been the net use of $11.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Our high use of cash has been predominantly caused by declines in revenue in our existing businesses, costs associated with the IPSA acquisition, costs for the ramp up of the cyber solutions employee base and capital costs associated with the build out of the operations center for the cyber solutions group. Additionally, revenues at IPSA were below expectations during 2015 due to the unexpected delay and ultimate early termination of a project with a significant customer and revenue in the cyber solutions segment has not materialized at the pace that was anticipated. Based on the foregoing, we will have to obtain additional financing by the end of the first quarter of 2016 to support our future operations and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing, or if obtained, on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to obtain the same will adversely affect the operations of the Company. With new IPSA and Cyber Solutions client engagements in 2016, the Company expects such incremental revenue along with expense management will improve the Company's liquidity position. Based upon its current cash position as well as these new executed contracts that will be performed in 2016, management believes that it will have sufficient cash to fund operations into the first quarter of 2017. |

In addition to customary, structural anti-dilution protection (i.e., stock splits, dividends, etc), should the Company, during the term of the warrants, issue common shares at a per share consideration that is less than the exercise price, the exercise price of each warrant shall be reduced concurrently with such issue, to the consideration per share received by the Company for such issue of additional stock. Upon closing of this equity financing, the company received proceeds of $5,584,549. Aside from legal fees, the Company incurred $334,875 in fees, plus the issuance of 202,955 $1.10 five year warrants in connection with this financing transaction and this amount is not reflected in the proceeds above. |

Description Of Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Description of Business | We are a provider of cyber security, business advisory services principally in regulatory risk mitigation, and energy solutions. We help clients in diverse industries improve performance, comply with complex regulations, reduce costs, leverage and integrate technology, and stimulate growth. We team with our clients to deliver sustainable and measurable results.

We work with our customers to assess, design, and provide customized advice and solutions that are tailored to address each clients particular needs. We provide solutions and services to a wide variety of organizations including Fortune 500 companies, medium-sized businesses and governmental entities. |
Principles of Consolidation | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Cash and cash equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Amounts invested may exceed federally insured limits at any given time. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits (FDIC limits are $250,000). The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that the risk of loss is remote. |
Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense, if any, is included in general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $383,503 and $356,597, respectively. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable equity securities are accounted for as trading securities and are stated at market value with unrealized gains and losses accounted for in other income (expense). |
Property and equipment | Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions are reflected in income. |
Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets | Our intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks, non-compete agreements and purchased customer relationships, all of which are accounted for based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other |
Impairment testing | Our goodwill impairment testing is calculated at the reporting unit level. Our annual impairment test has two steps. The first identifies potential impairments by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded. The impairment test for the other intangible assets is performed by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the intangible asset or to its related group of assets, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. We predominately use a discounted cash flow model derived from internal budgets and forecasts in assessing fair values for our impairment testing. Factors that could change the result of our impairment test include, but are not limited to, different assumptions used to forecast future net sales, expenses, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements used in our cash flow models. In addition, selection of a risk-adjusted discount rate on the estimated undiscounted cash flows is susceptible to future changes in market conditions, and when unfavorable, can adversely affect our original estimates of fair values. In the event that management determines that the value of intangible assets have become impaired using this approach, we will record an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment. The Company also engages an independent valuation expert to assist it in performing the valuation and analysis of fair values of goodwill and intangibles. The Companys annual goodwill impairment testing date is October 1 of each year. In determining impairment charges, the Company uses various valuation techniques using both the income approach and market approach at each reporting unit in accordance with FASB ASC 350.The Company did not record an impairment charge during 2015. During 2014, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment write-down of $6,363,630 related to the Energy Solutions segment which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. The balance recorded as goodwill as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is $15,676,246 and $4,352,177, respectively, net of accumulated impairment of $16,969,662 for both periods. Intangible assets, other than goodwill, consist of customer relationships, non-competition agreements and trademarks/trade names. The fair market value of the customer relationships were determined by discounting the expected future cash flows from the acquired customers. The value of the non-competition agreements were estimated from the percentage of discounted cash flows expected to be lost if the agreement was not in place. The Company performed its annual impairment test and determined there was no impairment during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In addition, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, it was determined that a full impairment of the trade name and customer list intangible assets related to the Energy Solutions segment was required and such impairment was recorded during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $429,394 at September 30, 2014. Customer relationships acquired are being amortized over the estimated useful life of four or five years. Non-competition agreements are being amortized over the life of the agreement. Acquired trademarks/trade names are being amortized over five or fifteen years. Total intangibles balances, prior to accumulated amortization, were $7,245,112 and $664,648 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, accumulated amortization of intangible assets totaled $1,735,470 and $513,025, respectively. Amortization expense on these intangible assets of $1,222,446 and $222,476 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included as depreciation and amortization on the Statement of Operations. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the next five years and thereafter is expected to be as follows for the years ended: December 31, 2016 $ 1,311,836 December 31, 2017 862,103 December 31, 2018 790,429 December 31, 2019 781,262 December 31, 2010 220,838 Thereafter 1,543,174 $ 5,509,642 |
Revenue Recognition | The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of any agreement exists, services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured; therefore, revenue is recognized when the Company invoices customers for completed services at contracted rates and terms. Therefore, revenue recognition may differ from the timing of cash receipts. |
Income Taxes | The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes FASB ASC Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the balance sheet. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement and classification of amounts related to uncertain tax positions, accounting for and disclosure of interest and penalties, accounting in interim period disclosures and transition relating to the adoption of new accounting standards. Under FASB ASC Topic 740-10, the recognition for uncertain tax positions should be based on a more-likely-than-not threshold that the tax position will be sustained upon audit. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent probability of being realized upon settlement. |
Derivative Warrant Liability | The Company evaluates warrants issued in connection with debt and preferred stock issuances to determine if those contracts, or any potential embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and carried at fair value. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded in the Statement of Operations as either income or expense. Upon expiration or exercise of the warrants, the derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity. The fair value at each balance sheet date and the change in value for each class of warrant derivative is disclosed in detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Share-based compensation | The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees |
Fees From Factoring Arrangement | Fees charged to the Company from its factoring arrangement for accounts receivable sold with full recourse include an administrative fee that is incurred upon funding of the factored invoices to the Company and a closing fee that is incurred when payment of the original accounts receivable amount is paid to the factoring company by the Companys customer. Administrative and closing fees from the factoring arrangement are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. |
Foreign Currency Translation | The functional currencies of the Companys foreign operations are the local currencies. The consolidated financial statements of the Companys foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of Operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Accumulated net translation adjustments have been reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, a standard to provide for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2015-14 requires application of ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date (i.e. for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of this standard will have on the Companys financial position or results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides GAAP guidance on managements responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a companys ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. Upon adoption the Company will use the guidance in ASU 2014-15 to assess going concern uncertainty matters. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. ASU 2016-02 affects companies that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets referred to as Lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption will be permitted for all companies and organizations upon issuance of the standard. See Note 14 for the Companys current lease commitments. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements. Since January 1, 2015, there have been several other new accounting pronouncements and updates to the Accounting Standards Codification. Each of these updates has been reviewed by Management who does not believe their adoption has had or will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or operating results. |
