Collexis Holdings, Inc., sometimes referred to as Collexis (or “we”) in these Notes, is a global software development company headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina with operations in Geldermalsen, the Netherlands and in Cologne, Germany. Collexis develops software that supports the knowledge intensive market-building tools to search and mine large sets of information. The Collexis Engine 6.0 software enables discovery through identification, ordering and aggregation of ideas and concepts. Using public as well as proprietary thesauri of industry specific language, Collexis can create “fingerprints” of texts - such as articles, web pages, books and internal and external databases - that can be used in turn to find the most relevant information for a researcher or business professional.
Technology Holdings, Inc., which subsequently changed its name to Collexis Holdings, Inc., filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on February 14, 2007 to report the reverse merger whereby Collexis B.V., an operating company, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Technology Holdings, Inc., a reporting shell company. Collexis B.V., which was the acquirer in the merger for accounting purposes, had a calendar fiscal year. Technology Holdings, Inc., which was the acquiree in the merger for accounting purposes, has a fiscal year that ends on June 30. Because we adopted the July-June fiscal year of Technology Holdings, Inc., the consolidated financial statements this report are for the first quarter of our fiscal year.
We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included in this report in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to interim statements. The financial information contained in this report is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Collexis Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Collexis B.V. and Collexis, Inc., for all periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year End
The company’s fiscal year end for financial reporting is June 30. The company’s fiscal year end for income tax reporting is December 31.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial accounting standards Statement No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires the company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities that are deemed to be financial instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
Collexis Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates include: the valuation of shares issued for services or in connection with acquisitions; the valuation of fixed assets and intangibles and their estimated useful lives; the valuation of investments; contingencies; and litigation. The company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), and Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.” The company recognizes revenue from non-cancelable software licenses when the license agreement has been signed, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. The company recognizes license revenue from resellers when an end user has placed an order with the reseller and the above revenue recognition criteria have been met with respect to the reseller. In multiple element arrangements, the company defers the vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) related to the undelivered elements and recognizes revenue on the delivered elements using the percentage-of-completion method.
The most commonly deferred elements are initial maintenance and consulting services. The company recognizes initial maintenance on a straight-line basis over the initial maintenance term. The company determines VSOE of maintenance by using a consistent percentage of maintenance fee to license fee based on renewal rates. The company recognizes maintenance fees in subsequent years on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable agreement. Maintenance contracts entitle the customer to hot-line support and all unspecified product upgrades released during the term of the maintenance contract. Upgrades include any and all unspecified patches or releases related to a licensed software product. Maintenance does not include implementation services to install these upgrades. The company determines VSOE of services by using an average consulting rate per hour for consulting services sold separately, multiplied by the estimate of hours required to complete the consulting engagement.
Delivery of software generally occurs when the product (on CDs) is delivered to a common carrier. Occasionally, delivery occurs through electronic means whereby the company makes the software available to the customer through the company’s secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site. The company does not offer any customers or resellers a right of return.
For software license, services and maintenance revenue, the company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable, the company has performed the services and whether or not collection is probable. The company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after the company’s normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, the fee is not considered fixed and determinable. In these cases, the company recognizes revenue as the fees become due.
The company assesses assuredness of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The company does not ask customers for collateral. If the company determines that collection of a fee is not probable, the company defers the fee and recognizes the revenue when collection becomes probable, which is generally when the company receives payment.
Collexis Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The company’s arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. If an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, however, acceptance occurs upon the earliest of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
The company bills the majority of its training and consulting services based on hourly rates. The company generally recognizes revenue as it performs these services. However, when an arrangement with a customer is based on a fixed fee or requires significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces to enable the software to perform as the customer requests, the company recognizes the related revenue using the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion method of accounting applies to the company’s custom programming services, which are generally contracted on a fixed fee basis. The company charges anticipated losses, if any, to operations in the period that the company determines such losses are probable.
The company recognizes revenues from transaction fees associated with subscription arrangements, which are billable on a per transaction basis, based on the actual number of transactions processed during the period.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursement Received for ‘Out of Pocket’ Expenses Incurred,” the company classifies reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses as revenue.
Foreign Currency Risk
The company has conducted significant sales activity through its subsidiary based in Geldermalsen, the Netherlands. The majority of the sales activity has occurred in the Netherlands and Germany. The company has experienced foreign exchange gains and losses to date without engaging in any hedging activities.
The company’s foreign operations’ functional currency is the applicable local currency (primarily, the Euro). Assets and liabilities for these foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation gains or losses are reflected in the statement of operations.
Under the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement described in Note 4 below, the company is required to make payments to the selling shareholders and managing directors of SyynX Solutions GmbH (“SyynX”), a German corporation, in four installments through October, 2010. Because these payment obligations are denominated in Euros, the company faces foreign exchange gains or losses which may have a significant impact on the company’s statement of operations and cash requirements in future periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities
The company invests its excess cash in money market funds. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable securities.
Collexis Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Loss per Common Share
Loss per share is computed based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock, which would then share in the earnings of the company. The shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
During the periods presented, the company had 17,151,120 options outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the income tax position taken. Income tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be measured to determine the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which clarifies that fair value is the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Further, the standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands certain disclosures about fair value investments. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements.” This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The company does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of its financial results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
NOTE 3. OPTION TO PURCHASE SYYNX WEBSOLUTIONS
On October 9, 2006, the shareholders of SyynX granted to the company, in exchange for 500,000 euros (approximately US$700,000), the right to demand, for a two year period ending October, 2008, that these shareholders sell their shares in SyynX to the company for a purchase price of 5,000,000 euros (approximately US$7.0 million). The amounts paid can be used as a reduction of the purchase price if and when the company exercises the option. Additionally, if the merger is consummated, the company will grant 2.1 million options to purchase shares of the company’s stock to certain shareholders and employees of SyynX at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.
NOTE 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 19, 2007, we exercised the option described in Note 3 above and entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholders and managing directors of SyynX. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, we agreed to purchase all of the capital stock of SyynX for an aggregate cash consideration of €5,923,267, or approximately US$8,488,343 at current exchange rates.
We purchased all of SyynX’s capital stock from SyynX WebSolutions GmbH and two individuals. SyynX WebSolutions GmbH owns 400,000 shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay the sellers in four installments as noted in the table below. We are required to pay interest at the rate of 1% per annum on the deferred portion of the purchase price beginning January 14, 2008. (Due to rounding of the payments to be made to several sellers and the reflection of a credit as noted below, the amounts below do not equal the gross amounts above.)
Payment Date | | Payment Amount in Euros | | Payment Amount in US Dollars at Current Exchange Rates | |
| | | | | |
December 31, 2007* | | € | 1,500,000 | | $ | 2,145,975 | |

We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $600,000 as of September 30, 2007 and approximately $2,063,000 as of November 13, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we used a total of approximately $1,520,883 in cash in connection with operating activities. We anticipate continuing losses as we build out our platforms and develop the sales force to market our products. We will need substantial additional capital to pursue our growth plans, and we can give no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional capital we need on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006
Total Revenues. Total revenues decreased approximately $11,000, or 3.4%, to approximately $317,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to approximately $328,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease was due to a decline in services delivered in the period, partially offset by increases in license, maintenance and support, and hardware and hosting revenues resulting from the expansion of efforts in the university and research markets.
License Revenue. License revenue increased approximately $17,000, or 63%, to approximately $44,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $27,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to sales of new licenses and subscriptions in the government, university and research markets.
Service Revenue. Service revenue decreased approximately $53,000, or 64.5%, to approximately $158,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus approximately $211,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is due primarily to a reduction in services delivered to existing clients seeking to add profiles and libraries.
Maintenance & Support Revenue. Maintenance and support revenue increased approximately $16,000, or 18.6%, to approximately $102,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $86,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is due to an increase in the number and value of maintenance contracts sold to new licensees.
Hardware & Hosting Revenue. Hardware and hosting revenue was approximately $14,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $4,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Cost of License Revenue. Cost of license revenue was approximately $10,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007, due to third party license fees charged on some products.
Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased approximately $8,000, or 11.1%, to approximately $80,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus approximately $72,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was due to an increase in personnel costs associated with the development of our professional services staff.
Cost of Maintenance & Support Revenue. Cost of maintenance and support revenue increased approximately $8,000, or 6.2%, to approximately $138,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus approximately $130,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarily composed of minor variances in third party support costs.
Cost of Hardware & Hosting Revenue. Cost of hardware and hosting revenue was approximately $8,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to approximately $6,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006.
General & Administrative Costs. General and administrative costs increased to approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to approximately $720,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $311,000, or 43.4%. This increase is due primarily to the expansion of our global headquarters in Columbia, South Carolina, including higher costs associated with:
| · | compensation expense, which reflects an approximately $29,000 increase in stock option costs and an approximately $80,000 increase in cash compensation; and |
| · | professional fees associated with our public company requirements. |
Sales & Marketing. Sales and marketing costs increased to approximately $611,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $198,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is due primarily to the salary and travel costs associated with the enhanced efforts of an expanded sales and marketing team, which grew from three full-time employees as of September 30, 2006 to 12 full-time employees and a Chief Marketing Officer as of September 30, 2007, as well as an increase in expenses incurred in the expansion of our global marketing efforts during the period.
Research & Development. Research and development costs increased to approximately $303,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to approximately $183,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $120,000, or 65.6%. This increase is due to increases in salary, travel and related personnel costs associated with the expansion of our operations and the continued efforts to develop our Collexis 6.0 engine.
Total Expenses and Net Loss. As a result of the above factors, total expenses increased to approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Our net loss increased to approximately $1.85 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus a net loss of approximately $970,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $600,000. Our working capital deficit as of September 30, 2007 was approximately $(340,000), versus working capital of approximately $1.6 million at September 30, 2006, representing a decrease in working capital of approximately $1.26 million. As of June 30, 2007 we had working capital of approximately $550,000, representing a decrease in working capital of approximately $890,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, we had no outstanding debt.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we used net cash of $1.5 million for operating activities, primarily for developing our Collexis 6.0 engine, building out our worldwide headquarters and adding to our sales and marketing staff. We used additional cash of $64,000 for investing activities, primarily for the purchase of capital assets related to the continued expansion of our facilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.0 million. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.65 million arising from stock subscriptions, and we used cash of $650,000 to repay a series of loans obtained in June 2007 from a shareholder.
As of November 13, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,063,000, not including cash at our recently-acquired Syynx subsidiary in Germany. This amount reflects the closing on November 9, 2007 of another private offering in which we sold 2,179,880 shares at a price of $0.75 per share, or $1,634,910 in total. Our management expects that with our present negative cash flows from operating activities and our current level of cash, we will require additional working capital to continue to grow our operations, develop our products or pursue acquisitions and comply with our reporting obligations as a public company. We are also obligated to pay the SyynX shareholders €1,500,000, or approximately $2,145,975 at current exchange rates, at December 31, 2007. As a result, we must seek additional capital to meet these working capital and acquisition-related needs.
We expect to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock in the future, but we can provide no assurances in that regard. There can be no assurance that external financing will be available if needed in the future, or if available, that it would be available on terms acceptable to our management.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management has based this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations on our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates on a periodic basis.
A “critical accounting policy” is one that is both important to the understanding of the company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes the following accounting policies fit this definition:
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), and Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.” We recognize revenue from non-cancelable software licenses when the license agreement has been signed, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. We recognize license revenue from resellers when an end user has placed an order with the reseller and the reseller has met above revenue recognition criteria. In multiple element arrangements, we defer the vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) related to the undelivered elements and recognize revenue on the delivered elements using the percentage-of-completion method.
The most commonly deferred elements are initial maintenance and consulting services. We recognize initial maintenance on a straight-line basis over the initial maintenance term. We determine the VSOE of maintenance by using a consistent percentage of maintenance fee to license fee based on renewal rates. We recognize maintenance fees in subsequent years on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable agreement. Maintenance contracts entitle the customer to hot-line support and all unspecified product upgrades released during the term of the maintenance contract. Upgrades include any and all unspecified patches or releases related to a licensed software product. Maintenance does not include implementation services to install these upgrades. We determine the VSOE of services by using an average consulting rate per hour for consulting services sold separately multiplied by the estimate of hours required to complete the consulting engagement.
Delivery of software generally occurs when the product (on CDs) is delivered to a common carrier. Occasionally, delivery occurs through electronic means in which we make the software available through our secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site or via a website-based download. We do not offer any customers or resellers a right of return.
For software license, services and maintenance revenue, we assess whether the fee is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is probable. We assess whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, the fee is considered not fixed and determinable. In these cases, we recognize revenue as the fees become due.
We assess assuredness of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we defer the fee and recognize revenue when collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. If an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, however, acceptance occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
We bill the majority of our training and consulting services based on hourly rates. We generally recognize revenue as we perform these services. When we have an arrangement that is based on a fixed fee or requires significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces so that the software performs as the customer requests, however, we recognize the related revenue using the percentage of completion method of accounting. This method applies to our custom programming services, which are generally contracted on a fixed fee basis. We charge anticipated losses, if any, to operations in the period that we determine those losses to be probable.
We recognize revenues from transaction fees associated with subscription arrangements, which are billable on a per transaction basis and included in services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, based on the actual number of transactions processed during the period.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursement Received for ‘Out of Pocket’ Expenses Incurred,” we classify reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as services revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Development Costs. Our policy is to charge the costs of software development to the year in which these costs occurred. We establish technological feasibility and completion of the existing Engine. Generally, costs related to projects that reach technological feasibility upon completion of a working model are not capitalized, because the period between establishment of the working model and general availability is of short duration. The nature of our current development for software products is generally such that we can measure technological feasibility most effectively using the working model method, in which the time between establishment of a working model and general availability is short, which results in no costs that qualify for capitalization.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We evaluate the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. When we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance against amounts due, thereby reducing the net receivable to the amount our management believes is probable of collection. For all other customers, we recognize allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are outstanding, the current business environment and historical experience.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such assets will not be realized. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates we expect to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the income tax position taken. Income tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be measured to determine the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which clarifies that fair value is the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Further, the standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands certain disclosures about fair value investments. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements.” This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have evaluated the new pronouncement and have determined that it did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3A(T) CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Based on our management’s evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. William D. Kirkland, as of September 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reached the conclusion expressed in the preceding paragraph because of the following:
| · | We failed to prepare and report within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K describing a series of loans totaling $650,000 that we obtained in June 2007 from Margie Chassman, who owns 48.8% of our common stock. We repaid this loan in full on July 31, 2007. We filed that Form 8-K report on September 28, 2007. |
| · | We failed to prepare and timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the appointment of four new directors in July 2007. We filed that Form 8-K report on September 28, 2007. |
In addition, after September 30, 2007:
| · | We determined that the unaudited financial statements of Collexis B.V. for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 14, 2007 could no longer be relied upon because they did not properly reflect the application of FASB No. 123(R) and improperly reflected a deferred tax asset. We filed an amendment to that Form 8-K report on October 24, 2007. |
| · | We determined that the unaudited financial statements of Collexis Holdings, Inc. for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB of Collexis for the periods ended March 31, 2007 could no longer be relied upon because they did not properly reflect the application of FASB No. 123(R) and improperly reflected a deferred tax asset. We filed an amendment to that Form 10-QSB Quarterly Report on October 25, 2007. |
| · | We determined that the audited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the transition report on Form 10-KSB filed on October 16, 2007 contained errors. We restated these audited financial statements in our Amendment No. 1 to the transition report on Form 10-KSB, filed on October 29, 2007. |
We believe that our failure to prepare and file the reports described above with the SEC accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC resulted from an inadequacy in our disclosure controls and procedures. We are in the process of improving our disclosure controls and procedures and are implementing other remediation measures that include the following:
| · | We hired experts from Intersect CFO, LLC to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision of Scott R. Meyerhoff. Mr. Meyerhoff is one of the founding partners of Intersect CFO, LLC. Mr. Meyerhoff was executive vice president and chief financial officer of Infor Global Solutions, Inc., a global provider of enterprise software solutions, from April 2004 until May 2005 and served as chief financial officer for InterCept, Inc. from January 1998 until March 2004. Mr. Meyerhoff is a certified public accountant and has extensive experience in accounting for mergers and acquisitions. |
| · | We have hired new corporate counsel to assist us in the preparation, review and filing of required SEC documents to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures. |
| · | We are in the process of hiring a new chief financial officer. |
| · | We have recently formed a new independent audit committee composed of Mark Auerbach (Chairman), Frank Carlucci and John Macomber, each of whom has extensive experience in serving as the CFO or CEO of large public companies. The new audit committee reviewed this report and discussed it with management and our independent auditors. |
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in the evaluation that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
