INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Confidential Business Resources, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Confidential Business Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Confidential Business Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring negative cash flows from operations, significant operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2004 and is having significant difficulty meeting its current obligations due to its negative working capital financial position. These issues raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 18. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
The Company is a professional investigation firm whose customer base is located throughout the United States. The Company provides private investigation services primarily to insurance companies.
(2) | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual method of accounting.
| (b) | Receivables and credit policies |
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment upon invoice presentation. Certain customers have been granted extended payment terms based on business volume and other factors. The Company does not charge late fees or assess interest on delinquent accounts. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance, if necessary, which reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The allowance is estimated based on management's knowledge of its customers, historical loss experience and existing economic conditions.
Revenue from a customer, which is a related party, amounted to approximately 48% and 50% of the Company's revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, 38% and 50%, respectively, of accounts receivable are due from this customer.
| (c) | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Automobiles and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five years while computer equipment is depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated lives or the respective lease term.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Expenditures for renewals or betterments are capitalized. When property is retired or sold, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

| (d) | Goodwill and intangible assets |
The Company accounts for goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations recorded as purchases, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Accordingly, goodwill is not amortized, but instead is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company uses a present value technique to measure the potential impairment of the recorded intangible assets.
Customer relationships and a non-compete agreement are intangible assets that have been deemed by the Company to have definite lives. In accordance with SFAS 142, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives. The Company has deemed all such assets to have estimated useful lives of five years. As market conditions change, the Company evaluates the useful lives of its definite lived intangible assets. Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses a present value technique to measure the potential impairment of the recorded definite lived intangible assets. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows in determining the fair value of the asset.
The amount provided for income taxes is based upon the amounts of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable at the date of the financial statements as a result of all events recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws.
Substantially all revenues of the Company are derived from private investigation services. It is the Company's policy to recognize revenues as services are completed for respective customers, due to the relatively short duration of individual jobs. Expenses incurred while performing these services are charged to customers and included in revenues.
| (g) | Advertising and promotion costs |
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs of approximately $65,000 and $68,000 were expensed during 2004 and 2003, respectively.
| (h) | Realization of long-lived assets |
Management evaluates the recoverability of the investment in long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and recognizes any impairment in the year of determination. It is reasonably possible that relevant conditions could change in the near term and necessitate a change in management's estimate of the recoverability of these assets.

| (i) | Stock-based compensation |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. Additionally, SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, clarifies the disclosure requirements prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees and directors is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company's stock as determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant over the amount an individual must pay to acquire the stock. To the extent that options are issued to non-employees, the value of such options is measured in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| (k) | Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS 150"), was issued in May 2003. SFAS 150 requires that certain classes of financial instruments, previously classified as equity, be classified in the liability section of the balance sheet. FASB Staff Position 150-3 ("FSP 150-3"), issued in November 2004, defers the effective date of SFAS 150 for nonpublic entities to fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. Management is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 150 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

| (k) | Recently issued accounting pronouncements, continued |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"), was issued in December 2004. SFAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. SFAS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees as a preferable accounting treatment, but that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income (loss) would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. For 2004 and prior years, the Company accounted for all options issued to employees under APB 25 and did not record stock compensation expense. The effective date of SFAS 123(R) for nonpublic entities begins for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 123(R) on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

(5) | Revolving line of credit |
The Company has a $1,750,000 revolving line of credit available with a bank at December 31, 2004. The revolving line of credit bears interest at prime plus 2.00% (7.00% at December 31, 2004) and expired in March 2005. A formal written extension has not been granted; however, payment of the outstanding balance has not been demanded as of July 22, 2005 (see Note 18). The revolving line of credit is secured by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and is guaranteed by the President of the Company. The Company owed $1,745,637 under this line of credit at December 31, 2004.
Additionally, the Company had a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit available with a bank at December 31, 2003 under which $623,492 was outstanding at that date. The balance was repaid during 2004.
The provisions of the revolving line of credit place certain restrictions and limitations upon the Company. These include maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions or limitations on the payment of dividends, capital expenditures, advances to related parties and affiliates, investments, sales or rentals of property, and additional borrowings. During and as of the year-ended December 31, 2004, the Company did not meet certain covenants. The bank granted a waiver for these covenants through July 31, 2005 (see Note 18).

Such dividends accrue on a daily basis, whether or not earned or declared. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, additional paid-in capital - preferred stock includes approximately $254,000 and $154,000, respectively, of recorded dividends. Such dividends were recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital - preferred stock and a charge to retained deficit as reflected in the accompanying statements of stockholders' equity. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of series-A preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Company to holders of common stock, an amount equal to the sum of (i) $13.33 per share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits or recapitalizations) of series-A preferred stock (the "Original Series A Issue Price") and (ii) an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid dividends on such share. The series-A preferred stock may be redeemed at the option of each holder of series-A preferred stock on or after June 14, 2005 (an "Optional Redemption"). As of December 31, 2004, there had been no such redemption. Each share of series-A preferred stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Original Series A Issue Price by the conversion price applicable to such share in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The holder of each share of series-A preferred stock shall have the right to vote for each share of common stock into which such shares of series-A preferred stock could then be converted. In the event any shares of series-A preferred stock shall be redeemed or converted, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by the Company.
The Company issued common stock in June and August of 2001 and in January 2003. The holders of common stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company's board of directors, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors. Upon the completion of the distribution upon liquidation of the above mentioned series-A preferred stock, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of series-A preferred stock and common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each until, with respect to the holders of series-A preferred stock, such holders have received a per share amount equal to $39.99 plus accrued and unpaid dividends on such share. Thereafter, if assets remain in the Company, the holders of the common stock of the Company shall receive all of the remaining assets of the Company pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each. Common stock is not redeemable. The holder of each share of common stock shall have the right to one vote, and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, and shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
(9) | Stockholders' equity, continued |
The Company previously issued reviewed financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 which reported total stockholders' equity in the amount of $766,351. The attached financial statements reflect a restatement of total stockholders' equity as of January 1, 2003. The restatement results primarily from various corrections related to the timing and recording of transactions. A summary of the restated retained deficit is as follows:
Retained deficit, as originally reported | | $ | (747,300 | ) |
Dividends on series-A preferred stock | | | (54,167 | ) |
Amortization of intangibles | | | (293,983 | ) |
Additional expenses recognized | | | (135,336 | ) |
Retained deficit, as restated | | $ | (1,230,786 | ) |
(10) | Employee benefit plan |
The Company sponsors a 401k plan covering substantially all employees. Full-time employees become eligible to participate upon completing ninety days of service, as defined by the plan and the Company has two enrollment periods per year. Company contributions are made at management's discretion. Benefits become vested when paid. The Company did not make a contribution during 2004 or 2003.
Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of the Company approximate $1,457,000 and $1,374,000, respectively, at December 31, 2004 and are generally available for federal and state tax purposes through 2024 and 2019, respectively.
Net deferred income taxes in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 include the following amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities:
| | Current | | Long-term | | Total | |
| | 2004 | | | |
Deferred income tax assets | | $ | 37,728 | | $ | 584,783 | | $ | 622,511 | |

(11) | Income taxes, continued |
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax assets result primarily from net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state purposes. The deferred income tax liability results primarily from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation of property and equipment for income tax purposes and differences between financial reporting and tax bases for amortization of intangible and other long-term assets.
The valuation allowance of $565,484 at December 31, 2004 and $315,422 at December 31, 2003 was established to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This reduction is provided due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to utilize the federal net operating loss carryforwards before they expire.
The Company utilizes office space under operating leases. Rent expense under these leases amounted to $339,366 and $321,766 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, including $25,200 and $60,480 paid to a related party. A summary of approximate future minimum payments under these leases as of December 31, 2004 is as follows:
Year | | Amount | |
2005 | | $ | 284,000 | |
2006 | | | 239,000 | |
2007 | | | 169,000 | |
2008 | | | 98,000 | |
2009 | | | 61,000 | |
2010 and later years | | | 32,000 | |
| | $ | 883,000 | |
It is expected that in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases; thus, it is anticipated that future lease payments will not be less than the current year rent expense.
(13) | Contingent liabilities |
The Company is named as a defendant in a lawsuit with two former employees who have charged the Company with failure to appropriately compensate such employees for overtime. On July 19, 2005, the plaintiffs filed motions seeking certification of such litigation as a class action lawsuit that would encompass employees working in Texas, California and Oklahoma from approximately July 2002 through June 2004. At present, the outcome of this litigation is uncertain and estimates of potential losses are not reasonably estimable. If the Company is not successful in defending itself in this litigation, the settlement of such claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

(13) | Contingent liabilities, continued |
In addition, there are other legal proceedings in which the Company is a named defendant. At present, the outcome of such litigation is uncertain and estimates of potential losses are not reasonably estimable.
The Company determined during 2004 that it had collected sales taxes in certain states for its services, but that such taxes had not been remitted to the applicable states. As such, a liability for the amounts collected, as well as interest due on such amounts, has been recorded in accrued liabilities and expenses in the accompanying financial statements. While it is probable that penalties will be assessed related to these past due sales taxes, the amount of such penalties are not reasonably estimable at this time. Thus the accompanying financial statements do not include a liability for these anticipated penalties.
The Company has entered into an agreement with a key employee whereby the Company will continue to compensate the employee in the event that employment is terminated, without cause, by the Company.
The Company generally maintains cash on deposit at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.
(14) | Related party transactions |
Revenues from related parties, including those revenues discussed in Note 2, amounted to $4,355,085 and $4,266,041 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company was owed trade receivables from these related parties amounting to $648,212 and $649,314 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Purchases from related parties amounted to approximately $393,083 and $431,217 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, trade accounts payable to these related parties totaled $54,083 and $94,544, respectively.
The Company made earnout payments in connection with revenue derived from one of its affiliates. These earnout payments amounted to $213,500 and $199,392 in 2004 and 2003, respectively (see Note 8).

During 2003, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of an unrelated entity (see Note 16). The Company issued 56,241 shares of common stock as partial payment of the acquisition.

December 31, 2004 and 2003
In January 2003, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of American Investigative Services, Inc. and American Security and Protective Services, LLC (collectively "AIS") based in Michigan. In April 2004, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Huffmaster, Inc. ("Huffmaster"), also based in Michigan. These acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method and the results of operations are included in the Company's financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The balance sheets summarized below reflect the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition including reported goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets aquired:

Fair value of 56,241 shares of common stock issued | | - | | | 74,923 | |
Purchase price | $ | 102,519 | | $ | 362,848 | |
The purchase agreement for the Huffmaster acquisition provides for contingent payments based on pre-established thresholds of referred revenue, as defined in the agreement, for the eighteen month period subsequent to the date of the acquisition. Any such payments would generally be capitalized to goodwill and other intangible assets when paid. As of the date of this report, no such payments have been required to be paid under the terms of this agreement. The Company feels that any such future payments would have no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

(17) | Stock options and other incentive performance awards |
Under the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), incentive stock options may be granted to directors, officers and key employees of the Company to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Fair market value at date of grant is based upon an established price by the Board of Directors, which is determined on the date of grant. The most recent establishment of price, which was determined as of September 16, 2004, indicated a fair market value of approximately $1.50 per share. Generally, options granted under the plan vest and become exercisable in four equal installments of 25% of the option shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and expire within five years from the date of grant.
Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | Weighted- average price per share | |
Balance, December 31, 2002 | | | - | | | | | $ | - | |
Granted | | | 35,250 | | | $ 1.50 - $ 1.65 | | $ | 1.53 | |
Exercised | | | - | | | | | | | |
Forfeited | | | - | | | | | | | |
Balance, December 31, 2003 | | | 35,250 | | | $ 1.50 - $ 1.65 | | $ | 1.53 | |
Granted | | | 40,250 | | | $ 1.50 - $ 1.65 | | $ | 1.53 | |
Exercised | | | - | | | | | | | |
Forfeited | | | (3,150 | ) | | $ 1.50 | | $ | 1.50 | |
Balance, December 31, 2004 | | | 72,350 | | | $ 1.50 - $ 1.65 | | $ | 1.53 | |
As of December 31, 2004 the weighted-average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options was approximately 4.3 years, and approximately 8,000 options were exercisable under the Plan. The pro forma effect of the fair value based method for the year ended December 31, 2004 was not materially different from the corresponding Accounting Principles Board No. 25 intrinsic value methodology.
In addition, the Company had 47,181 and 24,681 options outstanding with existing stockholders at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which were fully exercisable. The option price and weighted-average option price per share of such options was $1.50 at December 31, 2004 and 2003. There were no options exercised in 2004 and 2003.

(18) | Going concern considerations |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has experienced recurring negative cash flows from operations, significant operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2004 and is having significant difficulty meeting its current obligations due to its negative working capital financial position of $1,504,892 at December 31, 2004. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation.
During January and February of 2005, in an effort to help the Company meet its current obligations, the Company received $250,000 in exchange for two promissory notes issued to its primary stockholder, each in the amount of $125,000. The notes are due upon demand and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a certain bank's index rate plus two percent.
On May 19, 2005, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with GlobalOptions, Inc. ("GlobalOptions") to sell substantially all of its assets to and have certain liabilities assumed by GlobalOptions. The sales price is approximately $5,000,000, less an amount for the assumption of certain liabilities on a dollar for dollar basis, with certain limitations. The final sales price is subject to change based on working capital changes as defined in the Agreement. Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company will cease all business operations and exist only to settle its liabilities and distribute remaining funds to stockholders. As a condition of the debt covenant waiver provided by the bank (see Note 5), the Company's outstanding balance under its line of credit is required to be paid off at closing. Both GlobalOptions and the Company have agreed to the terms of the bank waiver.
Should the Company be unable to complete the sale of its assets, or obtain additional financing from other means which have not yet been fully explored by management, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities. It is not possible to predict whether the Company will be successful in its efforts with regards to its plans.
In July 2005, the Company negotiated a confidential settlement agreement with certain plaintiffs. The ultimate disposition of the litigation is contingent upon the closing of the asset sale referred to in note 18.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
The Company is a professional investigation firm whose customer base is located throughout the United States. The Company provides private investigation services primarily to insurance companies.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern based on significant recurring net losses, generation of negative cash flows from operations and difficulties meeting current obligations due to a negative working capital financial position. These conditions continued to exist as of June 30, 2005. However, on August 14, 2005, the Company consummated a transaction under an asset sale agreement with GlobalOptions, Inc. ("Global") in which Global purchased substantially all of the Company's assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Company. Upon completion of the transaction, and as required under the agreement, the Company ceased substantially all business operations.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Confidential Business Resources, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
(3) | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
During the first and second quarters of 2005, management reviewed its historical loss experience and related factors and determined that increases in the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts were warranted. Specifically, these increases were based on the collection experience with respect to credit sales to one customer, for which revenues recorded during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 were approximately $312,000. As of June 30, 2005, management has significant doubt as to whether the accounts receivable related to certain of these revenues will be collected.
The Company had a $1,750,000 revolving line of credit available with a bank at June 30, 2005. The revolving line of credit bore interest at prime plus 2.00% (8.25% at June 30, 2005) and expired in March 2005. A formal written extension had not been granted as of June 30, 2005. The revolving line of credit was secured by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and was guaranteed by the president of the Company. The Company owed $1,750,000 under this line of credit at June 30, 2005.

(4) | Financing activities - continued |
The provisions of the revolving line of credit placed certain restrictions and limitations upon the Company. These included maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions or limitations on the payment of dividends, capital expenditures, advances to related parties and affiliates, investments, sales or rentals of property, and additional borrowings. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants as required under the revolving line of credit.
During January and February of 2005, in an effort to help the Company meet its current obligations, the Company received $250,000 in exchange for two promissory notes issued to its primary stockholder, each in the amount of $125,000. The notes were due upon demand and bore interest at a per annum rate equal to a certain bank's index rate plus two percent. As of June 30, 2005, accrued interest in the amount of $8,995 was included in accrued expenses and liabilities.
As a result of the transaction discussed in Note 1, and as required in the agreement, Global paid off all amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving line of credit, including accrued interest. These amounts totaled approximately $1,750,000. In addition, the Company received cash proceeds of $2,500,000. The Company used the cash proceeds to fulfill various obligations including repayment of the $250,000 in promissory demand notes to its primary stockholder, with related accrued interest, and to settle certain outstanding litigation. The proceeds were also used to redeem and cancel the Company's outstanding preferred stock, including the payment of accrued dividends due to the primary stockholder as required under the series A preferred stock agreement.
The Company utilizes office space under operating leases. Rent expense under these leases amounted to $158,238 and $156,444 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, including $1,680 and $18,840, respectively, paid to a related party. A summary of approximate future minimum payments under these leases as of June 30, 2005 is as follows:
| Year Ending | | Amount | |
| | | | |
| | 2006 | | $ | 277,000 | |
| | 2007 | | | 195,000 | |
| | 2008 | | | 135,000 | |
| | 2009 | | | 79,000 | |
| | 2010 | | | 38,000 | |
| | 2011 and thereafter | | | 16,000 | |
| | | | $ | 740,000 | |
On August 14, 2005, in connection with the sale of the company’s assets, these lease liabilities were assumed by Global.

Revenue from a customer, which is a related party, amounted to approximately 48% and 50% of the Company's revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, approximately 50% of gross accounts receivable are due from this customer.
(7) | Contingent liabilities and litigation |
In July 2005, the Company negotiated a settlement agreement with certain plaintiff stockholders. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the stockholders $222,000 and to repurchase their collective 446,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share. The $222,000 required payment has been included in accrued expenses and liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2005, and the related expense has been included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. While the repurchase of the 446,000 shares of common stock will require the use of the Company's available cash at the time of repurchase, a liability has not been recorded for this commitment.
The Company is named as a defendant in a lawsuit with two former employees who have charged the Company with failure to appropriately compensate such employees for overtime. On July 19, 2005, the plaintiffs filed motions seeking certification of such litigation as a class action lawsuit that would encompass employees working in Texas, California and Oklahoma from approximately July 2002 through June 2004. Subsequent to June 30, 2005, the Company has reached a final confidential settlement agreement, in principle, with the plaintiffs. Based on the terms of the agreement, the Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $90,000 at June 30, 2005. Such liability has been included in accrued expenses and liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2005, and the related expense has been included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.
The Company determined during 2004 that it had collected sales taxes in certain states for its services, but that such taxes had not been remitted to the applicable states. As such, a liability for the amounts collected, as well as interest due on such amounts, has been recorded in accrued expenses and liabilities in the accompanying condensed financial statements. While it is probable that penalties will be assessed related to these past due sales taxes, the amount of such penalties are not reasonably estimable at this time. Thus the accompanying condensed financial statements do not include a liability for these anticipated penalties.
The Company has entered into an agreement with a key employee whereby the Company will continue to compensate the employee in the event that employment is terminated, without cause, by the Company.

(9) | Acquisition - continued |
The purchase agreement provides for contingent payments based on pre-established thresholds of referred revenue, as defined in the agreement, for the eighteen month period subsequent to the date of the acquisition. Any such payments would generally be capitalized to goodwill and other intangible assets when paid. As of the date of this report, no such payments have been required to be paid under the terms of this agreement. The Company believes that any such future payments would not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
