Business Overview
The Company was incorporated in the State of Illinois on March 23, 2000, to create software to help college students organize their college information and resources. The idea behind the Company was that if the information and resources provided by colleges and universities was better organized and targeted toward each individual, the students would encounter a personal experience with the college or university that could lead to a lifetime relationship with the institution. This concept is already used by business software designed to retain relationships with clients, employees, vendors and partners.
The Company developed a web portal infrastructure operating system product called BoxesOS v3.0. BoxesOS provides a web portal infrastructure operating system designed to increase the satisfaction of key stakeholders (students, faculty, alumni, employees, and clients) by enhancing the organizational experience through the use of enterprise web-based applications to organize their relationships and improve the lines of communication. BoxesOS decreases an organization’s operating expenses by providing development tools to create advanced web applications. The applications can be created by non-technical staff members of each institution. BoxesOS creates sources of revenue for Alumni Associations and Non-Profit organizations through utilizing a web platform to conduct e-commerce and provides e-commerce tools for small businesses to easily create "my accounts" for their customers. It further reduces administrative costs, by combining technology applications into one package, providing an alternative solution to enterprise resource planner (“ERP”) modules and showing a return on investment for institutions by reducing the need for 3rd party applications license fees. BoxesOS can also link a college or university’s resources with the business community by allowing businesses to better train their employees by utilizing courseware development from higher education institutions.

On or about June 18, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Desk Flex, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“DFI”), Professional Resource Management, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“PRMI” and collectively with DFI, the “Target Companies”) and Arthur A. Goes, an individual and the sole stockholder of the Target Companies. The Purchase Agreement consummated the transactions contemplated by the February 25, 2008, non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) the Company entered into, to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of the Target Companies. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of the Target Companies for an aggregate purchase price of $445,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was payable as follows:
(a) | Mr. Goes retained the $10,000 originally paid by the Company in connection with the parties’ entry into the Letter of Intent; | |
(b) | The Company paid Mr. Goes $210,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) at the Closing (as defined below) of the Purchase Agreement; and | |
(c) | The Company provided Mr. Goes with a 7% Promissory Note in the amount of $225,000 (the “Note”), described in greater detail below. |
Additionally, the Company agreed to assume an aggregate of approximately $15,475 in outstanding liabilities of DFI and PRMI in connection with the Closing.
The Purchase Agreement closed on June 18, 2008 (“Closing”), at which time Mr. Goes delivered to the Company, 2,000 shares of DFI stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DFI, and 1,000 shares of PRMI stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PRMI. Also at Closing, the Company delivered the Cash Consideration and the Note to Mr. Goes. As a result of the Closing, DFI and PRMI became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The Note bears interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, and all past due principal and interest (which failure to pay such amounts after a fifteen (15) day cure period, shall be defined herein as an “Event of Default”) bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until paid in full. The Note, however, additionally provides that the Company shall have two additional fifteen (15) day cure periods during the term of the Note resulting in two thirty (30) day cure periods before an Event of Default occurs. The principal amount of the Note is due on June 18, 2011. The Note is payable in monthly installments of $6,947.35 (each a “Monthly Payment”), with the first such Monthly Payment due on September 18, 2008, until such time as this Note is paid in full. Provided, however, that if the total amount due under the Note is less than any Monthly Payment, the Company shall only be obligated to pay the remaining balance of the Note. The Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of the date of this report, the Company is current with all of its required Monthly Payments.
Additionally, the Company agreed to secure the payment of the Note with a Uniform Commercial Code Security Interest filing, which the Company agreed to file, but which filing has not occurred to date, at Mr. Goes’ request, at the Company’s expense, to grant Mr. Goes a security interest over all of the Target Companies’ tangible and intangible assets, and the outstanding stock of both of the Target Companies until the Note is repaid. Pursuant to such requirement of the Note, at the Closing, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Mr. Goes, whereby the Company granted Mr. Goes a security interest in all inventory, equipment, appliances, furnishings and fixtures, stock certificates and intellectual property now or hereafter owned by the Target Companies. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company also assigned to Mr. Goes a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest to any trademarks, trade names, contract rights, and leasehold interests in which it now has or hereafter acquires to secure repayment of the Note.

PRMI and DFI are separate legal entities, but operate in conjunction. PRMI and DFI share office space and certain employees. DFI’s main source of revenue comes from the “Desk/Flex Software” product, which it owns, and PRMI’s main source of revenue comes from the “Agent Power” product line, which it owns. PRMI also acts as the general agent for DFI; however, there is no formal agency agreement between the two companies.
Recent Events
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Software Product Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Software Rights Agreement”) with Igenti, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Igenti”) to acquire the rights to Igenti’s AutoHire software, domain names, permits, customers, contracts, know-how, equipment, software programs, receivables totaling approximately $10,000 and the intellectual property of Igenti associated therewith (the “AutoHire Software”). The Company did not purchase or assume any of Igenti’s liabilities in connection with the Software Rights Agreement. The purchase price for the AutoHire Software was $170,000 payable as follows:
1) $120,000 in cash at the closing (which occurred February 1, 2010); and
2) $50,000 in the form of a promissory note (the “Igenti Note).
The Igenti Note does not bear interest and is payable in monthly installments of $416.67 per month beginning May 5, 2010, and ending May 5, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the remaining amount of the Igenti Note, $39,999.92 is due and payable. The payment of the Igenti Note is secured by all of the subscription agreements of customers relating to the AutoHire Software entered into prior to February 1, 2010. During 2010, an amendment to the original agreement settled this note payable between the parties. At December 31, 2010 the balance of this note has been forgiven and no amount is currently due.
In connection with the Software Rights Agreement, the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement and Non-Compete Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with the owner of Igenti, Jim McArdle. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, we agreed to engage Mr. McArdle as a consultant in connection with the AutoHire Software for a period of six months following the closing of the Software Rights Agreement at the rate of $2,962.70 per month, and Mr. McArdle agreed to provide consulting services for us. We terminated the Consulting Agreement prior to the expiration of six months from the effective date of the Software Rights Agreement, which agreement could be cancelled for any reason, and agreed to pay Mr. McArdle $5,925.40 in one lump sum. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. McArdle agreed to not compete with the Company or our products anywhere in the nation for a period of two years following the closing of the Software Rights Agreement.
On July 28, 2010, and effective the same day, Shaun Passley, as the sole Director and majority shareholder of the Company, approved and authorized a 1:10 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock effective for shareholders of record on July 28, 2010 (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split did not affect the Company’s outstanding preferred stock, the number of authorized shares of common or preferred stock of the Company, or the par value of the Company’s common or preferred stock.

The Company has completed the process of compiling certain information as requested by FINRA. FINRA approved the request on August 2010. The Reverse Split has been retroactively reflected throughout this report unless otherwise stated.

Also at Closing, the Company delivered the Cash Consideration and the IntelliSys Note to Mr. Prahl. As a result of the Closing, IntelliSys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company also agreed to provide Mr. Prahl earn-out rights in connection with the purchase, which provide that he will receive up to a maximum of $13,350 per year for the three calendar years following the Closing (with the first such calendar year beginning on January 1, 2011), based on the revenues generated by IntelliSys during such applicable year based on the following schedule (the “Earn-Out”):

$0 to $350,000 | $0 |
$350,000.01 to $380,000 | $6,675 |
$380,000.01 to $395,000 | $10,012.50 |

Provided that in no event shall the total amount payable to Mr. Prahl in connection with the Earn-Out exceed $13,350 per year or $40,050 in aggregate.

The IntelliSys Note, also provides that the Company shall have two additional fifteen (15) day cure periods during the term of the IntelliSys Note resulting in two thirty (30) day cure periods before an Event of Default occurs.

The repayment of the Third Party Lender Note is secured by a security interest over substantially all of the Company’s property, including, but not limited to the stock of IntelliSys which was purchased in connection with the IntelliSys Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Third Party Lender Note is guaranteed by Shaun Passley, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, related parties, PRMI and DFI.

Finally, Shaun Passley agreed to further secure the Third Party Lender Note with the proceeds of a personal insurance policy, equal at least to the amount of the Third Party Lender Note.

AutoHire Software
The AutoHire system provides a tool to power career centers, post job ads to sites and job boards, and to collect resumes online. The online processes supported by the system provide the mechanism to comply with the record keeping requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which apply to organizations employing 15 or more persons.
One of the most useful features of the AutoHire system is the interactive question and online screening and ranking system. The interactive question system provides a means for the client to maintain their own library of questions and to attach selected questions to job opportunities posted. Responses obtained can be used to screen and rank candidates to permit hiring managers to focus their attention on only the most suitable candidates. We believe that result can have a substantial impact on the cost of recruiting and the quality of candidates selected.
By attaching interactive questions to job opportunities posted clients can collect information not typically presented in a resume. The additional information can often replace the initial interview process. Questions can be multiple choice or narrative.
Desk Flex Software
DFI developed the Desk/Flex Software (“Desk/Flex”) to enhance the value of businesses’ real estate investments and modernize their office space. Desk/Flex lets businesses make better use of office space restrictions by enabling employees to instantly access their workstation tools from multiple areas in and outside of the office. Desk/Flex lets employees reserve space in advance or claim space instantly. It adjusts the telephone switch (Private Branch Exchange or “PBX”) so that calls ring at the 'desk du jour', or go directly to voice mail when a worker is not checked in.
Key Features of Desk/Flex include:
Quick and Easy Check-In - Check-in and Check-out to a workstation takes less than 8 seconds, and advance reservations take only a few seconds more.
Point-and-Click Floor Maps - Desks that are available are identified by green dots. Those that are in use are identified by red. An employee needs only to click or touch (using an optional touch-screen) a green dot to select his or her desk.
PBX Interaction - Desk/Flex connects to an employee’s Nortel, Avaya or Cisco PBX to ensure that the employee has phone access at his or her desk; the message waiting light becomes operational; outside calls can be made only after checking in; and an employee is automatically checked out overnight if he or she leaves a workstation without checking out.
Web Browser and Local "Kiosk" Access - On site, the Desk/Flex kiosk(s) makes it easy to select a vacant desk near a co-worker or centrally located at the office. Even before leaving home a worker with access to the company intranet can reserve a desk or locate a co-worker at any desk in the company’s office via a web browser.
Advance Reservations - Workers can easily choose and reserve workspaces ahead of time for a particular date or range of dates.
Occupancy Reports - Management reports allow accurate measures of occupancy in total or by type of desk so the total number or mix of desks can be adjusted to meet client demand and save more office space expense in future months.

Desk/Flex is responsive to office size and needs, servicing small to large businesses. Desk/Flex can be configured to administer a single site or multiple sites locally or remotely. Desk/Flex has full integration capabilities with both Nortel and Avaya, which combined represent the majority of the telecommunications and inbound automatic call distributor (“ACD”) market.

Sales & Marketing
EPAZZ uses telemarketing and email campaigns to meet with key decision makers in order to demonstrate the significant customer satisfaction, cost savings, and revenue enhancement benefits they can realize by using the EPAZZ systems.
EPAZZ plans to contract with independent sales representatives as independent contractors for IT sales. Independent representatives are independent contractors who work on a performance basis and are located throughout the United States. EPAZZ will pay commission on sales. Since the sales teams will be independent and not employees of EPAZZ we do not plan to pay such sales representatives salaries, travel expenses or office expenses. Furthermore, EPAZZ we believe that we will be able to enter into more markets at less cost allowing us to invest more in product development.
Research and Development
Over the previous three years we have issued 100,000 Class A Common Shares to software developers in consideration for research and product development of BoxesOS. The Company has spent no other resources on research and development activities for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Employees
We currently employ four (4) full-time employees. Three of those employees are provided to us by Administaff Companies II, L.P. (“Administaff”), with whom we have a client service agreement.
Competition
The environment for our products and services is intensely competitive. Our current and potential competitors include many large and well capitalized software companies and many smaller less-known software companies.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market segments include selection, price, availability, convenience, brand recognition, customer service, reliability, ease of use, and ability to adapt to changing conditions, as well as our future customers' overall trust in the entire experience in transactions with us.
Our overall market is intensely competitive, and there are a number of other competitors that are much larger than us and have significantly greater resources at their disposal. We believe that our product offerings are competitive with others in the marketplace; however, we do not have a dominant market share.

Intellectual Property
We received a trademark for “EPAZZ” on March 5, 2002 (Serial Number 75930172). We regard our trademark, copyrights, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as important to our success, and we plan to rely on trademark and copyright law, trade-secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners, and others to protect our proprietary rights.
Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary rights is inherently difficult, and we may not be able to determine the existence or extent of any unauthorized use. The protection of our intellectual property may require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Moreover, we cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our intellectual property will adequately protect our rights or that others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology or other intellectual property rights.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this report before deciding whether to make an equity investment in our Company. Our business, financial condition or results of operations, including those of our wholly owned subsidiaries DFI, PRMI and Intellisys, could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur. Some of these factors have affected our financial condition and operating results in the past or are currently affecting us.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We owed a total of $1,481,799 as of December 31, 2010, to repay our liabilities and we will need to raise additional funds in the future to repay these obligations and continue our operations and these funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to raise additional funds could require us to substantially reduce or terminate our operations.
As of December 31, 2010, we owed approximately $1,060,971 in outstanding notes payable, which included $108,095 owed on our capital leases; $269,985 owed to our Chief Executive and other related parties, the interest of which has been forgiven as of December 31, 2009 and which has not accrued any interest as of December 31, 2010. We also owed $296,103 to Star Financial (as described above) in connection with the June 2008 Note, and $386,788 to other unrelated third parties. We anticipate raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support our business operations; however we currently do not have commitments from third parties for additional capital.
We cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could limit our ability to continue and expand our business. We intend to overcome the circumstances that impact our ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of additional revenues, of which there can be no assurance, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. Our ability to obtain additional funding for the remainder of the 2010 year and thereafter will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurances that these plans for additional financing will be successful. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner to repay our obligations and supply us sufficient funds to continue our business operations and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require us to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that we relinquish valuable rights. In the event that we are unable to repay our current and long-term obligations as they come due, we could be forced to curtail or abandon our business operations, and/or file for bankruptcy protection; the result of which would likely be that our securities would decline in value and/or become worthless.

The Note payable in connection with the acquisition of DFI and PRMI is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of DFI, PRMI and the Company.
We provided Mr. Goes, the seller of DFI and PRMI with a 7% Promissory Note in the original amount of $225,000 (the “Note”) in connection with the Closing of the purchase of DFI and PRMI. The Note bears interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, and all past due principal and interest (which failure to pay such amounts after a thirty (30) day cure period, shall be defined herein as an “Event of Default”) bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until paid in full. The principal amount of the Note is due on June 18, 2011. The Note is payable in monthly installments of $6,947.35 (each a “Monthly Payment”), with the first such Monthly Payment due on September 18, 2008, until such time as this Note is paid in full. As of the date of this report, the Company is current with all Monthly Payments. We agreed to secure the payment of the Note with a Uniform Commercial Code Security Interest filing, which we agreed to file, at Mr. Goes’ request, at our expense, to grant Mr. Goes a security interest over all of DFI’s and PRMI’s tangible and intangible assets, and the outstanding stock of DFI and PRMI until the Note is repaid. Pursuant to such requirement of the Note, at the Closing, we entered into a Security Agreement with Mr. Goes, whereby we granted Mr. Goes a security interest in all inventory, equipment, appliances, furnishings and fixtures, stock certificates and intellectual property now or hereafter owned by DFI and PRMI. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, we also assigned to Mr. Goes a security interest in all of our right, title, and interest to any trademarks, trade names, contract rights, and leasehold interests in which we now have or hereafter acquire to secure repayment of the Note. If we default on the repayment of the Note, Mr. Goes may enforce his security interest over the assets of the DFI and PRMI and our assets which secure the repayment of the Note, and we could be forced to curtail or abandon our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in the Company could become worthless.
The Note payable in connection with the acquisition of AutoHire Software is secured by a security interest in all of the subscription agreements of customers relating to the AutoHire Software entered into prior to February 1, 2010.
We provided Igenti, the seller of the AutoHire Software with a $50,000 Promissory note in the original amount of $50,000 (the “Igenti Note”). The Igenti Note does not bear interest and is payable in monthly installments of $416.67 per month beginning May 5, 2010, and ending May 5, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the remaining amount of the Igenti Note, $39,999.92 is due and payable. The payment of the Igenti Note is secured by all of the subscription agreements of customers relating to the AutoHire Software entered into prior to February 1, 2010. As of the date of this report, the Company is current with all Monthly Payments. If we default on the repayment of the Igenti Note, Igenti may enforce its security interest over the rights to the Company’s AutoHire Software customers which secure the repayment of the Igenti Note, and we could be forced to curtail or abandon our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in the Company could become worthless. During 2010, an amendment to the original agreement settled this note payable between the parties. At December 31, 2010 the balance of this note has been forgiven and no amount is currently due.
The Notes payable in connection with the acquisition of IntelliSys and due to Newtek are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of IntelliSys and the Company.
The Company agreed to secure the payment of the $50,000 IntelliSys Note (described above) with a Uniform Commercial Code Security Interest filing, which the Company agreed to file, at Mr. Prahl’s request, at the Company’s expense, to grant Mr. Prahl a security interest over all of IntelliSys’ tangible and intangible assets, and the outstanding stock of both of IntelliSys until the IntelliSys Note is repaid, which security interest is junior to the Newtek Note (described below). On September 30, 2010, the Company obtained a $185,000 U.S. Small Business Association Loan from Third Party Lender (the “Third Party Lender Note” and “Third Party Lender”). The Third Party Lender Note bears interest at the rate of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.75% (which has an initial interest rate of 6% per annum). The Company agreed to repay the Third Party Lender Note at the rate of $2,053.88 per month, beginning in November 2010. The Third Party Lender Note is due and payable on September 30, 2020. The repayment of the Third Party Lender Note is secured by a security interest over substantially all of the Company’s property, including, but not limited to the stock of IntelliSys which was purchased in connection with the IntelliSys Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Third Party Lender Note is guaranteed by Shaun Passley, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, related parties, PRMI and DFI. The Third Party Note is also secured by a mortgage on the properties of related parties, and Shaun Passley. Mr. Prahl in connection with the IntelliSys Note and Shaun Passley in connection with amounts owed to him by the Company, agreed to accept no further payments on such debts until Third Party Lender is paid in full. Finally, Shaun Passley agreed to further secure the Third Party Lender Note with the proceeds of a personal insurance policy, equal at least to the amount of the Third Party Lender Note. An aggregate of $125,000 received in connection with the Third Party Lender Note was used to pay Mr. Prahl the Cash Consideration due under the IntelliSys Purchase Agreement, $50,000 was used for working capital, and $10,000 was paid in closing costs associated with the note.
-15-
If we default on the repayment of the IntelliSys Note and/or Third Party Lender Note, Mr. Prahl and/or Third Party Lender may enforce their security interest over the assets of IntelliSys and our assets which secure the repayment of such notes, and we could be forced to curtail or abandon our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in the Company could become worthless.
If we are deemed to be a “shell company,” shareholders who hold unregistered shares of our common stock will be subject to resale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144.
Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. We do not currently believe that we are a “shell company” however, we may be deemed to be a “shell company.” If we are deemed to be a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 will not be able to be made until 1) we have ceased to be a “shell company; 2) we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have filed all of our required periodic reports for the prior one year period; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” Because none of our securities will be able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after we cease to be a “shell company” (as described in greater detail above), any securities we issue to consultants, employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity in the event we are deemed to be a “shell company” until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission and/or until a year after we cease to be a “shell company” and have complied with the other requirements of Rule 144, as described above. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder for us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. If we are deemed a “shell company,” it could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants using our securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.
We have a history of losses and we anticipate that our expenses will dramatically increase as we execute our business plan. Thus, we will likely experience continued losses in the near future and may not ever achieve or maintain profitability.
The Company has yet to initiate significant sales or demonstrate that it can generate sufficient sales to become profitable. The Company incurred significant net losses since its inception in March 2000, including a net loss of $54,680 for the year ended December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,871,205 and negative working capital of $240,718. Furthermore, we expect operating expenses to increase as we seek to update our products, build relationships with future customers, build additional distribution channels for our products, continue design and development projects, and increase administrative activities to support our planned growth.
We have conditions that raise substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern, which may negatively affect our ability to raise additional funds and otherwise operate our business. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to implement our business plan, we may have to liquidate our business, and you may lose your investment.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring losses from operations, deficiencies in working capital and equity and our failure to make payments related to our notes payable as described herein. This substantial doubt could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to implement our business plan, we may have to liquidate our business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our independent registered public accountants’ comments when determining if an investment in us is suitable.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock. Additionally, shares issued in our planned offering will cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
Shares eligible for future sale may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock by creating an excessive supply. We currently plan to raise additional funding through the sale of debt or equity securities, which would cause a significant increase in the number of outstanding shares which we currently have, and would cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Additionally in the future, shareholders, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, and any shareholders who purchase shares in the planned offering may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company remains a reporting company, a non “affiliate” stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six month holding period may sell their securities free of any volume limitations. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, with certain volume limitations, by an affiliate, if the Company is a reporting company, the “affiliate” has held such shares for six months, and the Company continues to file periodic reports with the commission. The rules are different however for non-reporting companies in that non-“affiliate” and “affiliate shareholders must hold their securities for at least a year, and no sales by “non-affiliates” are able to be made unless certain requirements are met, including, but not limited to that there is current public information available regarding the Company and the “affiliate” complies with the applicable volume limitations. The disclosures in this paragraph assume for all purposes that the Company is not a “shell company,” as described in Rule 144. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to any resale prospectus or Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock by creating an excessive supply.
Our success and the success of our products depend in part upon our ability to develop new products and enhance our existing products. Failure to successfully introduce new or enhanced products to the market may adversely affect our business.
We may not be successful in achieving market acceptance of our products. Any failure or delay in diversifying our existing product offerings could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop enhancements to our existing products and to introduce new products that keep pace with rapid technological developments. We must continue to modify and enhance our products to keep pace with changes in technologies. We may not be successful in developing these modifications and enhancements or in bringing them to market in a timely manner. In addition, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new technologies and platforms or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our products to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our products, result in customer dissatisfaction and harm our business. Additionally, accelerated product introductions and short product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and development that could adversely affect our operating results.
Our operating results, are difficult to predict and fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter and year to year, which may increase the difficulty of financial planning and forecasting and may result in declines in our stock price.
Our future operating results may vary from our past operating results, are difficult to predict and may vary from year to year due to a number of factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. These factors include:
● the potential delay in recognizing revenue from transactions due to revenue recognition rules which we must follow; |
-17-
● customer decisions to delay implementation of our products; |
● any seasonality of technology purchases; |
● demand for our products, which may fluctuate significantly; |
● the timing of new product introductions and product enhancements by both us and our competitors; |
● changes in our pricing policy; and |
● the publication of opinions concerning us, our products or technology by industry analysts. |
As a result of these and other factors, our operating results for any fiscal quarter or fiscal year will be subject to significant variation, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful in terms of their relation to future performance. You should not rely upon these comparisons as indications of future performance. It is likely that our future quarterly and annual operating results from time to time will not meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors, which could cause a drop in the price of our common stock.
Defects or errors in our software could adversely affect our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our software.
If our software is determined to contain defects or errors, our reputation could be materially adversely affected, which could result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our software in the future. The costs we would incur to correct product defects or errors may be substantial and would materially adversely affect our operating results. After the release of our software, defects or errors may be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our clients. Such defects or errors may occur in the future.
Any defects in our applications, or defects that cause other applications to malfunction or fail, could result in:
● lost or delayed market acceptance and sales of our software; |
● loss of clients; |
● product liability suits against us; |
● diversion of development resources; |
● injury to our reputation; and |
● increased maintenance and warranty costs. |

Our market is subject to rapid technological change and if we fail to continually enhance our products and services in a timely manner, our revenue and business would be harmed.
We must continue to enhance and improve the performance, functionality and reliability of our products in a timely manner. The software industry is characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user requirements and preferences, frequent new product and services introductions embodying new technologies, and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our products and services obsolete. Our failure to continually enhance our products and services in a timely manner would adversely impact our business and prospects. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to internally develop and license leading technologies to enhance our existing products and services, to develop new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our future customers, and to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our product development efforts are expected to continue to require substantial investments, and we may not have sufficient resources to make the necessary investments. If we are unable to adapt our products and services to changing market conditions, customer requirements or emerging industry standards, we may not be able to maintain or increase our revenue and expand our business.
Our management has no senior management experience in the software industry which may hinder our ability to manage our operations.
Our Company is a new software company and our management has limited experience managing in our industry and our management and employees have limited experience developing and selling software. The lack of experience in software design and sales may make it difficult to compete against companies that have more senior management and design experience. We expect to add additional key personnel in the future. Our failure to attract and fully integrate our new employees into our operations or successfully manage such employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Significant unauthorized use of our products would result in material loss of potential revenues and our pursuit of protection for our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs to us.
Our software is planned to be licensed to customers under license agreements, which license may include provisions prohibiting the unauthorized use, copying and transfer of the licensed program. Policing unauthorized use of our products will likely be difficult and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, any significant piracy of our products could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States and our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate.
We may face product liability claims from our future customers which could lead to additional costs and losses to the Company.
Our license agreements with our future customers will contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in the license agreements may not be effective under the laws of some jurisdictions. A successful product liability claim brought against us could result in payment by us of substantial damages, which would harm its business, operating results and financial condition and cause the price of its common stock to fall.
-19-
We may not be able to respond to technological changes with new software applications, which could materially adversely affect our sales and profitability.
The markets for our software applications are characterized by rapid technological changes, changing customer needs, frequent introduction of new software applications and evolving industry standards. The introduction of software applications that embody new technologies or the emergence of new industry standards could make our software applications obsolete or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict the lifecycle of our software applications, which may become obsolete before we receive any revenue or the amount of revenue that we anticipate receiving from them. If any of the foregoing events were to occur, our ability to retain or increase market share could be materially adversely affected.
To be successful, we need to anticipate, develop and introduce new software applications on a timely and cost-effective basis that keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards and that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our future customers and their budgets. We may fail to develop or sell software applications that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards, experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or sale of these applications or fail to develop applications that adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. Our failure to develop and market such applications and services on a timely basis, or at all, could materially adversely affect our sales and profitability.
Our failure to offer high quality customer support services could harm our reputation and could materially adversely affect our sales of software applications and results of operations.
Our future customers, if any, will depend on us to resolve implementation, technical or other issues relating to our software. A high level of service is critical for the successful marketing and sale of our software. If we do not succeed in helping our customers quickly resolve post-deployment issues, our reputation could be harmed and our ability to make new sales or increase sales to customers could be damaged.
We expect to rely on off-shore independent contract service providers and, as a result, will be exposed to potential service problems from those providers.
Certain Company functions, such as software development, will be provided through off-shore contract providers. Any material disruption or slowdown in service resulting from telephone or Internet failures, power or service outages, natural disasters, labor disputes, or other events could make it difficult or impossible to provide adequate off-shore services. Furthermore, we may be unable to attract and retain an adequate number of competent software developers, which is essential in creating a favorable customer experience. In addition, because our outsourced software development is located in India, we may experience difficulties in training or monitoring the level of support provided. If we are unable to continually provide adequate and trained staffing for our software development operations, our reputation could be seriously harmed and our sales could decline. Further, we cannot assure you that our needs will not exceed our capacities. If this occurs, we could experience delays in developing software and addressing customer concerns. Because our success depends in large part on keeping our future customers satisfied, any failure to provide satisfactory levels of software development would likely impair our reputation and we could lose customers.
Our business could be harmed if our independent third party contractors violate labor or other laws.
Once we are able to retain them, our independent contract third party contractors may not operate in compliance with applicable United States and foreign laws and regulations, including labor practices. If one of any of our possible future independent contractors violates labor or other laws or diverges from those labor practices generally accepted as ethical in the United States, it could result in adverse publicity for us, damage our reputation in the United States or render our conduct of business in a particular foreign country undesirable or impractical, any of which could harm our business.
Our future success depends on our ability to respond to changing customer demands, identify and interpret trends and successfully market new products.
The software industry is subject to rapidly changing customer demands, particularly in the “enterprise” market that we intend to market our product. Accordingly, we must identify and interpret trends and respond in a timely manner. Demand for and market acceptance of new products are uncertain and achieving market acceptance for new products generally requires substantial product development and marketing efforts and expenditures. If we do not meet changing customer demands or are unable to develop products that appeal to current customer demands, our results of operations will be negatively impacted. In addition, we will have to make decisions about product development and marketing expenditures in advance of the time when customer acceptance can be determined. If we fail to anticipate, identify or react appropriately to changes and trends or are not successful in marketing our products, we could experience excess inventories, higher than normal markdowns or an inability to sell our products once and if the products are available.
-20-
Our business and the success of our products could be harmed if we are unable to establish and maintain a brand image.
We believe that establishing a brand is critical to achieving acceptance of our software products and to establishing key strategic relationships. As a new company with a new brand, we believe that we have little to no brand recognition with the public. We may experience difficulty in establishing a brand name that is well-known and regarded, and any brand image that we may be able to create may be quickly impaired. The importance of brand recognition will increase when and if our competitors create products that are similar to our products. Even if we are able to establish a brand image and react appropriately to changes in customer preferences, customers may consider our brand image to be less prestigious or trustworthy than those of our larger competitors. Our results of operations may be affected in the future should our products even be successfully launched.
We may fail in introducing and promoting our products to the software market, which will have an adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues.
Demand for and market acceptance of new products is inherently uncertain. Our revenue will come from the sale of our products, and our ability to sell our products will depend on various factors, including the eventual strength, if any, of our brand name, competitive conditions and our access to necessary capital. If we fail to introduce and promote our products, we may not be able to generate any significant revenues. In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we intend to expand our product offerings to introduce more products in other categories. This strategy may however prove unsuccessful and our association with failed products could impair our brand image. Introducing and achieving market acceptance for these products will require, among other things:
● the establishment of our brand; |
● the development and performance to our planned product introductions; |
● the establishment of key relationships with customers for our software products; and |
● substantial marketing and product development efforts and expenditures to create and sustain customer demand. |
We will face intense competition, including competition from companies with significantly greater resources than ours, and if we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our business could be harmed.
We will face intense competition in the software industry from other established companies. We have a very limited market for our product, product sales, brand recognition, manufacturing or brand equity. Almost all of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technological, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution resources than we do. Their greater capabilities in these areas will enable them to better withstand periodic downturns in the software industry, compete more effectively on the basis of price and production and more quickly develop new products. In addition, new companies may enter the markets in which we expect to compete, further increasing competition in the software industry.
-21-
We believe that our ability to compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, including the functionality of our products once marketed and the strength of our brand, once established, as well as many factors beyond our control. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows that are sufficient to maintain or expand our development and marketing of new products.
We depend on key personnel to manage our business effectively in a rapidly changing market, and if we are unable to retain existing personnel, our business could be harmed.
Our future success depends upon the continued services of key employees especially Shaun Passley, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Passley or any other key employee could harm us. Our future success also depends on our ability to identify, attract and retain additional qualified personnel. Competition for employees in our industry is intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
The disruption, expense and potential liability associated with unanticipated future litigation against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may be subject to various legal proceedings and threatened legal proceedings from time to time as part of our ordinary business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings. However, any unanticipated litigation in the future, regardless of merits, could significantly divert management’s attention from our operations and result in substantial legal fees to us. Further, there can be no assurance that any actions that have been or will be brought against us will be resolved in our favor or, if significant monetary judgments are rendered against us, that we will have the ability to pay such judgments. Such disruptions, legal fees and any losses resulting from these claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Protection of our intellectual property is limited, and any misuse of our intellectual property by others could materially adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
Proprietary technology in our software is important to our success. To protect our proprietary rights, we plan to rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. We do not own any issued patents and we have not emphasized patents as a source of significant competitive advantage. We have sought to protect our proprietary technology under laws affording protection for trade secrets, copyright and trademark protection of our software, products and developments where available and appropriate. In the event we are issued patents, our issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages or may be challenged by third parties, and the patents of others may seriously impede our ability to conduct our business. Further, any patents issued to us may not be timely or broad enough to protect our proprietary rights.
We also have one registered trademark in the U.S. for our “EPAZZ” mark. Although we attempt to monitor use of and take steps to prevent third parties from using our trademark without permission, policing the unauthorized use of our trademark is difficult. If we fail to take steps to enforce our trademark rights, our competitive position and brand recognition may be diminished.
Protection of trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in the markets in which we operate and compete is highly uncertain and may involve complex legal and scientific questions. The laws of countries in which we operate may afford little or no protection to our trade secrets and other intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our trade secret technologies and proving misappropriation of our technologies is particularly difficult, and we expect software piracy to continue to be a persistent problem. Piracy of our products represents a loss of revenue to us. Furthermore, any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, the trade secret and other intellectual property laws in any country in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to enforce our trade secret and intellectual property rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our confidential information and trade secret protection. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights or if third-parties independently develop or gain access to our or similar technologies, our competitive position and revenue could suffer.
-22-
We may incur significant litigation expenses protecting our intellectual property or defending our use of intellectual property, which may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.
If our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights are inadequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as a violation of the intellectual property rights of others, we could incur substantial significant legal expenses in resolving such disputes.
Our competitors may develop similar, non-infringing products that adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.
Our competitors may be able to produce a software product that is similar to our product without infringing on our intellectual property rights. Since we have yet to establish any significant brand recognition for our product, we could lose a substantial amount of business due to competitors developing products similar to our software products. As a result, our future growth and ability to generate revenues from the sale of our product could suffer a material adverse effect.
Claims that we misuse the intellectual property of others could subject us to significant liability and disrupt our business, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Because of the nature of our business, we may become subject to material claims of infringement by competitors and other third-parties with respect to current or future software applications, trademarks or other proprietary rights. Our competitors, some of which may have substantially greater resources than us and have made significant investments in competing technologies or products, may have, or seek to apply for and obtain, patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use and sell our current and future products, and we may not be successful in defending allegations of infringement of these patents. Further, we may not be aware of all of the patents and other intellectual property rights owned by third-parties that may be potentially adverse to our interests. We may need to resort to litigation to enforce our proprietary rights or to determine the scope and validity of a third party’s patents or other proprietary rights, including whether any of our products or processes infringe the patents or other proprietary rights of third-parties. The outcome of any such proceedings is uncertain and, if unfavorable, could significantly harm our business. If we do not prevail in this type of litigation, we may be required to:
● pay damages, including actual monetary damages, royalties, lost profits or other damages and third-party’s attorneys’ fees, which may be substantial; |
● expend significant time and resources to modify or redesign the affected products or procedures so that they do not infringe a third-party’s patents or other intellectual property rights; further, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in modifying or redesigning the affected products or procedures; |
● obtain a license in order to continue manufacturing or marketing the affected products or processes, and pay license fees and royalties; if we are able to obtain such a license, it may be non-exclusive, giving our competitors access to the same intellectual property, or the patent owner may require that we grant a cross-license to part of our proprietary technologies; or |
● stop the development, manufacture, use, marketing or sale of the affected products through a court-ordered sanction called an injunction, if a license is not available on acceptable terms, or not available at all, or our attempts to redesign the affected products are unsuccessful. |
Any of these events could adversely affect our business strategy and the value of our business. In addition, the defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, interferences, oppositions and related legal and administrative proceedings in the United States and elsewhere, even if resolved in our favor, could be expensive, time consuming, generate negative publicity and could divert financial and managerial resources.
-23-
We expect that software developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of software applications and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of software applications in different industry segments overlaps. Thus, we could be subject to additional patent infringement claims in the future. There can be no assurance that the claims that may arise in the future can be amicably disposed of, and it is possible that litigation could ensue.
Intellectual property litigation can be complex, costly and protracted. As a result, any intellectual property litigation to which we are subject could disrupt our business operations, require us to incur substantial costs and subject us to significant liabilities, each of which could severely harm our business.
Plaintiffs in intellectual property cases often seek injunctive relief. Any intellectual property litigation commenced against us could force us to take actions that could be harmful to our business, including the following:
● stop selling our products or using the technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property; |
● stop selling our products or using the technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property; |
● attempt to obtain a license to use the relevant intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; and |
● attempt to redesign the products that allegedly infringed upon the intellectual property. |
If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, our business, financial position and operating results could be harmed. We may not be able to develop, license or acquire non-infringing technology under reasonable terms, if at all. These developments would result in an inability to compete for customers and would adversely affect our ability to increase our revenue. The measure of damages in intellectual property litigation can be complex, and is often subjective or uncertain. If we were to be found liable for the infringement of a third party’s proprietary rights, the amount of damages we might have to pay could be substantial and would be difficult to predict.
Our business may be negatively impacted as a result of changes in the economy and corporate and institutional spending.
Our business will depend on the general economic environment and levels of corporate and institutional spending. Purchases of software may decline in periods of recession or uncertainty regarding future economic prospects. During periods of recession or economic uncertainty, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales to customers, maintain sales levels, establish operations on a profitable basis or create earnings from operations as a percentage of net sales. As a result, our operating results may be adversely and materially affected by downward trends in the economy or the occurrence of events that adversely affect the economy in general. Our operating results and margins will be adversely impacted if we do not grow as anticipated.
We may engage in future acquisitions or investments that present many risks, and we may not realize the anticipated financial and strategic goals for any of these transactions.
We do not have significant experience acquiring companies. However, in the future we may acquire or make investments in companies, in addition to our acquisition of DFI, PRMI, IntelliSys and our purchase of the AutoHire Software described above. If we acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, services and technologies, the acquisitions and investments will involve a number of risks, including:
● we have limited experience acquiring or making investments in complementary companies, products, services and technologies; |
-24-
● we may find that the acquired company or assets do not further our business strategy, or that we overpaid for the company or assets, or that industry or economic conditions change, all of which may generate a future impairment charge; |
● we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business and may have difficulty retaining the key personnel of the acquired business; |
● we may have difficulty incorporating the acquired technologies or products with our existing product lines; |
● there may be customer confusion where our products overlap with those that we acquire; |
● our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically and culturally diverse locations; |
● we may have difficulty maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies across locations; |
● the acquisition may result in litigation from terminated employees or third parties; and |
● we may experience significant problems or liabilities associated with product quality, technology and legal contingencies. |
These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or cash flows, particularly in the case of a larger acquisition or multiple acquisitions in a short period of time.
From time to time, we may enter into negotiations for acquisitions or investments that are not ultimately consummated. These negotiations could result in significant diversion of management time, as well as out-of-pocket costs.
The consideration paid for an investment or acquisition may also affect our financial results. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash, including a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. To the extent we issue shares of our capital stock or other rights to purchase shares of our capital stock, including options or other rights, our existing stockholders may be diluted, and our earnings per share may decrease. In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt, large one-time write-offs, including write-offs of acquired in-process research and development costs, and restructuring charges. They may also result in goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to impairment tests, which could result in future impairment charges.
-25-
We may be unable to scale our operations successfully and fail to attain our planned growth.
Our plan is to grow our business rapidly. Our growth, if it occurs as planned, will place significant demands on our management, as well as our financial, administrative and other resources. We will need to hire highly skilled personnel to effectuate our planned growth. There is no guarantee that we will be able to locate and retain qualified personnel for such positions, which would likely hinder our ability to manage operations. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that any of the systems, procedures and controls we put in place will be adequate to support the commercialization of our products or other operations. Our operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative and other resources. If we are unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of our products, services and operations, then the quality of our services, our ability to retain key personnel and our business could be harmed.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE
There is currently a limited public market for our securities. Moving forward, our stock price may be volatile and illiquid.
Our securities have been approved for quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “EPAZ,” however; there is currently only a limited market for our securities. If there is a market for our common stock in the future, we anticipate that such market would continue to be illiquid and would be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:
(1) | actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations; |
(2) | our ability or inability to generate new revenues; |
(3) | increased competition; and |
(4) | conditions and trends in the market for organizational software. |
Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
The price of our common stock may be volatile.
In the past several years, technology stocks have experienced high levels of volatility and significant declines in value from their historic highs. The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:
● price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time; |
● significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of software companies; |
● actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results; |
-26-
● actual or anticipated changes in the expectations of securities analysts; |
● announcements of technological innovations, new solutions, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors; |
● general economic conditions and trends; |
● major catastrophic events; |
● sales of large blocks of our stock; or |
● recruitment or departures of key personnel. |
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business.
We may experience a decline in revenue or volatility in our operating results, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We cannot predict our future revenue with certainty because of many factors outside of our control. A significant revenue or profit decline, lowered forecasts or volatility in our operating results could cause the market price of our common stock to decline substantially. Factors that could affect our revenue and operating results include the following:
● the possibility that our future customers may cancel, defer or limit purchases as a result of reduced information technology budgets; |
● the possibility that our future customers may defer purchases of our software applications in anticipation of new software applications or updates from us or our competitors; |
● the ability of the Company or its distributors to meet their sales objectives; |
● market acceptance of our new applications and enhancements; |
● our ability to control expenses; |
● changes in our pricing and distribution terms or those of our competitors; |
● the demands on our management, sales force and services infrastructure as a result of the introduction of new software applications or updates; and |
● the possibility that our business will be adversely affected as a result of the threat of terrorism or military actions taken by the United States or its allies. |
-27-
Our expense levels are relatively fixed and are based, in part, on our expectations of our future revenue. If revenue levels fall below our expectations, our net income would decrease because only a small portion of our expenses varies with our revenue. Therefore, any significant decline in revenue for any period could have an immediate adverse impact on our results of operations for the period. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. In addition, our results of operations could be below expectations of public market analysts and investors in future periods, which would likely cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The President and Chief Executive officer of the Company has significant influence over our company.
Shaun Passley beneficially owns approximately 78% of our Class A Common Stock, and 100% of our Class B Common Stock, which is entitled to 100 votes per share, which represents approximately 98% of our aggregate outstanding voting stock. Mr. Passley, as majority shareholder, sole Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company possesses significant influence over our Company, giving him the ability, among other things, to elect a majority of the Board of Directors and to approve significant corporate transactions. Such stock ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company. While Mr. Passley has managed the Company since its inception, he has no other accounting or finance experience and has no experience relating to a public company.
If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they publish negative evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts covering us downgrade their evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market for our stock, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
If we are late in filing our Quarterly or Annual Reports with the SEC, we may be de-listed from the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.
Pursuant to Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") rules relating to the timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC, any OTCBB issuer which fails to file a periodic report (Form 10-Q's or 10-K's) by the due date of such report (not withstanding any extension granted to the issuer by the filing of a Form 12b-25), three (3) times during any twenty-four (24) month period is automatically de-listed from the OTCBB. Such removed issuer would not be re-eligible to be listed on the OTCBB for a period of one-year, during which time any subsequent late filing would reset the one-year period of de-listing. As we were late in filing our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, if we are late in our filings two additional times prior to December 31, 2011, or three times in any subsequent 24 month period and are de-listed from the OTCBB, our securities may become worthless and we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business plan.
-28-
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the States in which and conditions under which you can sell shares.
Secondary trading in our common stock will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
Investors may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulations of penny stocks.
Once our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, if ever, it will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our executive offices are located at 309 W. Washington Street Chicago, IL 60606. The executive offices represent approximately 994 square feet. We occupy this space under a lease agreement between Epazz, Inc. and Washington-Franklin, LLC which has a three year and three month term that began on April 10, 2010 and ends on June 30, 2013. The monthly rent under the lease is $1,532.42 for the first year, $1,578.80 for the second year, and $1,626.02 for the third year. The lease may be cancelled by the landlord with ninety (90) days prior written notice.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

As of April 15, 2011, the Company had 2,500,000 shares of Series B Common Stock outstanding, all of which are held by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Passley. There is currently no market for the Company’s Series B Common Stock.
CLASS A COMMON STOCK, CLASS B COMMON STOCK AND SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
Rights to Dividends and on Liquidation. Each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is entitled to share equally in dividends (other than dividends declared with respect to any outstanding Preferred Stock) when and as declared by our Board of Directors. Upon liquidation, each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is entitled to share equally in our assets available for distribution to the holders of those shares. Any outstanding Preferred Stock would rank senior to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in respect of liquidation rights and could rank senior to that stock in respect of dividend rights.
Voting--General. All voting power is vested in the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Series A Preferred Stock voting together without regard to class but with votes determined as described below. However, we could in the future create a series of Preferred Stock with voting rights equal to or greater than our Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock ("Full Voting Preferred Stock").
Each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, and each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 100 votes per share. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share.
Non-Cumulative Voting Rights. Our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, as well as any Full Voting Preferred Stock we may issue, do not have cumulative voting rights.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
The following discussion of our financial condition and plan of operation should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and the other financial information included in this report. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation describes the matters EPAZZ considers to be important to understanding EPAZZ’s history, technology, current position, financial condition and future plans. Our fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31.
The following discussion includes forward looking statements and uncertainties, including plans, objectives, goals, strategies, financial projections as well as known and unknown uncertainties. The actual results of our future performance may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can not guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement.
PLAN OF OPERATION
During the next twelve months, we plan to further develop our BoxesOS software, and hope to expand our customer base for our Desk/Flex and Agent Power software packages, funding permitting. We believe we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next three months with our current cash on hand and revenues generated from our operations. As such, continuing operations and completion of our plan of operation, including making the Monthly Payments on our Note with Mr. Goes ,the Igenti Note, the IntelliSys Note (where required) and the Third Party Lender Note as described above, are subject to generating adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Even without significant revenues within the next several months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to potentially achieve our goal of profit, revenue and growth.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010, AS COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009.
For the year ended December 31, 2010 we had revenue of $705,005 compared to revenue of $359,961 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $345,044 or 960% from the prior period. The increase in revenues is mainly attributable to the sales generated by the Company which were deferred that are now being recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The increase is also attributable to the sales generated by our subsidiary, IntelliSys, Inc., which was acquired in September 2010.
General and administrative expenses increased by $77,723 or 24% to $404,619 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to general and administrative expense of $326,896 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expense is due mainly to the increase in expenses from the newly acquired subsidiary IntelliSys, Inc.
-31-
We had depreciation and amortization expense of $106,414 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $34,826 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $71,588 or 206% from the prior period. This increase is due the depreciation and amortization related to assets acquired in 2010.
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $511,033, compared to $361,722 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $149,311 or 41% from the prior period. We had operating income of $193,972 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to operating loss of $1,761 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $195,733 from the prior period. The increase in operating income was mainly due to the sales generated by the Company which were deferred that are now being recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The increase in operating income is also due to the revenue earned by the newly acquired subsidiary IntelliSys, Inc.
Interest expense was $73,344 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $52,923 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a increase of $20,421 or 39% from the prior period. Interest expense increased due mainly to the interest charged on leased equipment acquired during 2010.
We had net income of $120,785 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $54,680 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $175,465 from the prior period. The increase in net income was mainly due to the deferred revenue recognized during 2010 and revenue received from the newly acquired subsidiary.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had total current assets of $347,030 as of December 31, 2010, consisting of cash of $40,613, accounts receivable of $294,532, other current assets (security deposit) of $8,252 and deferred financing costs of $3,633.

We had total current liabilities of $587,748 as of December 31, 2010, consisting of $153,937 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $266,891 of deferred revenues, $55,800 of the current portion of capitalized leases and $111,120 of the current portion of notes payable in connection with payments due on Notes in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Igenti and InteliSys, Inc. as described below.
We had negative working capital of $240,718 and a total accumulated deficit of $1,871,205 as of December 31, 2010.
We had total liabilities of $1,481,799 as of December 31, 2010, which included total current liabilities of $587,748 and long-term note payable, net of current portion of $275,668, which represented payments due on the Note, described below; long-term related party debt of $296,103 which represented amounts payable to Star Financial as described below, $269,985 of other related party debt, and long-term portion of capitalized leases of $52,295.
We had net cash provided by operating activities of $202,364 for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was mainly due to $124,118 of net income offset by $103,081 of depreciation and amortization expense, $204,636 in changes to accounts receivable, $8,252 in changes to other assets and $188,053 in changes to current liabilities.

We had $218,892 of net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010, which represented proceeds from loans payable and capitalized leases of $337,019, proceeds from related party loan payable of $170,371, repayment of long term debt and capital leases of $131,627 and repayment of related party loan payable of $156,871.
-32-
On June 5, 2007, we obtained a line of credit of $100,000 from a bank. The outstanding balance on the line of credit bears interest at prime plus 4.5%, resetting every January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, that the line of credit is outstanding, and expiring on July 5, 2010. On June 5, 2010 the line of credit was converted to a unsecured term loan which bears interest at 7% and has a maturity date of June 5, 2014. Payments of $1,050 are due monthly. At December 31, 2010 the balance on this unsecured loan was $95,430.
We also borrow from our Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Passley and other related parties periodically under verbal agreements. The related party loans bear no interest and are due at an undetermined future date. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we borrowed an additional $13,500 from Mr. Passley and other related parties. At December 31, 2010, the total principal outstanding was $566,088. All previously accrued interest associated with these related party loans have been forgiven as of December 31, 2009; accordingly no additional interest has been accrued as of December 31, 2010.
In June 2008, the Company provided Arthur A. Goes a promissory note in the amount of $225,000 (the “Note”) in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with Desk Flex, Inc., Professional Resource Management, Inc. and Mr. Goes. The Note bears interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, and all past due principal and interest (which failure to pay such amounts after a fifteen (15) day cure period, shall be defined herein as an “Event of Default”) bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until paid in full. The Note, however, additionally provides that the Company shall have two additional fifteen (15) day cure periods during the term of the Note resulting in two thirty (30) day cure periods before an Event of Default occurs. The principal amount of the Note is due on June 18, 2011. The Note is payable in monthly installments of $6,947.35, with the first such monthly payment due on September 18, 2008, until such time as this Note is paid in full. Provided, however, that if the total amount due under the Note is less than any monthly payment, the Company shall only be obligated to pay the remaining balance of the Note. The Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of the date of this report, the Company is current with all such monthly payments.
On June 4, 2008, the Company issued a note payable in the amount of $296,100 due to Star Financial Corporation, which is owned by Fay Passley, the mother of our Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Passley, which has since been amended (the “June 2008 Note”, as amended from time to time). The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 10%, with annual payments of principal and interest in the amount of $106,951, originally due and payable beginning on December 1, 2009 and a maturity date of June 4, 2013, which has since been extended and which repayment terms have since been amended as provided below. In connection with the loan, the Company paid $14,100 (5%) in financing costs that are being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. The majority of the funds borrowed pursuant to the June 2008 Note were used to pay the seller the $210,000 payment in connection with the purchase of DFI and PRMI, as described above. In April 2010, Star Financial, agreed to modify the repayment terms of the June 2008 Note to provide for $100,000 to be due on August 1, 2011, $100,000 to be due on August 1, 2012, and the remaining balance of the June 2008 Note to be due on August 1, 2013 in return for junior lien on the Company’s assets.
In May 2009, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock to Vivienne Passley, the aunt of Shaun Passley, our sole Director and Chief Executive Officer, in connection with Ms. Passley’s conversion of her $6,000 note payable to shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock in forgiveness of the note payable.
In May 2009, the Company issued 160,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock to L&F Lawn Services, Inc., a company own by Lloyd Passley the father of Shaun Passley, as an interest payment on a loan payable due to L&F Lawn Services, Inc. These shares were valued at $12,800.
In May 2009 the Company issued 240,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock to Vivienne Passley, the aunt of Shaun Passley, as an interest payment on a loan payable due to Vivienne Passley. These shares were valued at $19,200.
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Software Product Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Software Rights Agreement”) with Igenti, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Igenti”) to acquire the rights to Igenti’s AutoHire software, domain names, permits, customers, contracts, know-how, equipment, software programs, receivables totaling approximately $10,000 and the intellectual property of Igenti associated therewith (the “AutoHire Software”). The $170,000 purchase price included $50,000 in the form of a promissory note (the “Igenti Note).
-33-
The Igenti Note does not bear interest and is payable in monthly installments of $416.67 per month beginning May 5, 2010, and ending May 5, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the remaining amount of the Igenti Note, $39,999.92 is due and payable. The payment of the Igenti Note is secured by all of the subscription agreements of customers relating to the AutoHire Software entered into prior to February 1, 2010. Igenti has also guaranteed the Company that the Company will receive at least $173,700 (the “Guaranteed Amount”) in subscription cash receipts from the AutoHire Software during the year ending February 1, 2011. The purchase price payable to Igenti is subject to reduction on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the event the subscription cash receipts from the AutoHire Software during the year ending February 1, 2011 are less than the Guaranteed Amount. During 2010, an amendment to the original agreement settled this note payable between the parties. At December 31, 2010 the balance of this note has been forgiven and no amount is currently due.
On July 29, 2010, the Company issued 20,000,000 post-Reverse Split shares of Class A Common Stock to Shaun Passley, the Company’s sole Director and Chief Executive Officer in consideration for compensation for management services rendered. These shares will be earned over the next five years.
On July 29, 2010, the Company issued 2,500,000 post-Reverse Split shares of Class A Common Stock to Vivienne Passley, a related party and the aunt of Shaun Passley, our Chief Executive Officer, in consideration for and in lieu of interest payments due to Star Financial Corporation on the June 2008 Note, from July 29, 2010 to July 29, 2015. The shares are earned over the next five years, with 41,667 shares earned per month.
On July 29, 2010, the Company issued 2,500,000 post-Reverse Split shares of Class A Common Stock to Fay Passley, a related party and the mother of our Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Passley, for and in lieu of interest payments due to Star Financial Corporation on the June 2008 Note, from July 29, 2010 to July 29, 2015. The shares are earned over the next five years, with 41,667 shares earned per month.
On or about September 2, 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “IntelliSys Purchase Agreement”) with IntelliSys, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“IntelliSys”) and Paul Prahl, an individual and the sole stockholder of IntelliSys. Pursuant to the IntelliSys Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of IntelliSys from Mr. Prahl, for an aggregate purchase price of $175,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price included $125,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and a note for $50,000 (the “IntelliSys Note”, described below). Additionally, the Company agreed to assume an aggregate of approximately $28,137.76 in outstanding liabilities of IntelliSys in connection with the Closing.
The Company also agreed to provide Mr. Prahl earn-out rights in connection with the purchase, which provide that he will receive up to a maximum of $13,350 per year for the three calendar years following the Closing (with the first such calendar year beginning on January 1, 2011), based on the revenues generated by IntelliSys during such applicable year based on the following schedule (the “Earn-Out”):
Revenue for the Relevant Year | Earn-Out |
$0 to $350,000 | $0 |
$350,000.01 to $380,000 | $6,675 |
$380,000.01 to $395,000 | $10,012.50 |
$395,000.01 or more | $13,350 |
Provided that in no event shall the total amount payable to Mr. Prahl in connection with the Earn-Out exceed $13,350 per year or $40,050 in aggregate.
The IntelliSys Note bears interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, and all past-due principal and interest (which failure to pay such amounts after a fifteen (15) day cure period, shall be defined herein as an “Event of Default”) bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid in full. The IntelliSys Note, also provides that the Company shall have two additional fifteen (15) day cure periods during the term of the IntelliSys Note resulting in two thirty (30) day cure periods before an Event of Default occurs.
-34-
The principal amount of the IntelliSys Note is due on September 18, 2015. The IntelliSys Note is payable in 60 monthly installments of $555.10 (each a “Monthly Payment”), with the first such Monthly Payment due on September 15, 2010, and by way of a balloon payment of $28,301 due on the due date of the IntelliSys Note, subject to the requirements of the Newtek Note (described below). Provided, however, that if the total amount due under the IntelliSys Note is less than any Monthly Payment, the Company shall only be obligated to pay the remaining balance of the IntelliSys Note. The IntelliSys Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The IntelliSys Purchase Agreement also provided that the amount of the IntelliSys Note would be adjusted on a dollar for dollar basis based on IntelliSys’ balance sheet prior to and subsequent to closing and any undisclosed liabilities which the Company becomes aware of (the “Adjustment”). As of the date of this filing, the Company is currently in discussion with Mr. Prahl to adjust the balance of the IntelliSys Note to approximately $28,384 in connection with the Adjustment.
Additionally, the Company agreed to secure the payment of the IntelliSys Note with a Uniform Commercial Code Security Interest filing, which the Company agreed to file, at Mr. Prahl’s request, at the Company’s expense, to grant Mr. Prahl a security interest over all of IntelliSys’ tangible and intangible assets, and the outstanding stock of both of IntelliSys until the IntelliSys Note is repaid, which security interest is junior to the Newtek Note (described below).
On September 30, 2010, the Company obtained a $185,000 U.S. Small Business Association Loan from Third Party Lender (the “Third Party Lender Note” and “Third Party Lender”). The Third Party Lender Note bears interest at the rate of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.75% (which has an initial interest rate of 6% per annum). The Company agreed to repay the Third Party Lender Note at the rate of $2,053.88 per month, beginning in November 2010. The Third Party Lender Note is due and payable on September 30, 2020. The repayment of the Third Party Lender Note is secured by a security interest over substantially all of the Company’s property, including, but not limited to the stock of IntelliSys which was purchased in connection with the IntelliSys Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Third Party Lender Note is guaranteed by Shaun Passley, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, related parties, PRMI and DFI. The Third Party Lender Note is also secured by a mortgage on the properties of related parties and Shaun Passley. Mr. Prahl in connection with the IntelliSys Note and Shaun Passley in connection with amounts owed to him by the Company, agreed to accept no further payments on such debts until Third Party Lender is paid in full. Finally, Shaun Passley agreed to further secure the Third Party Lender Note with the proceeds of a personal insurance policy, equal at least to the amount of the Third Party Lender Note. An aggregate of $125,000 received in connection with the Third Party Lender Note was used to pay Mr. Prahl the Cash Consideration due under the IntelliSys Purchase Agreement, $50,000 will be used for working capital, and $10,000 was paid in closing costs associated with the note.
We have no current commitment from our officers and Directors or any of our shareholders to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.
-35-
Revenue Recognition
All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from maintenance arrangements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit of five years. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Epazz, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Epazz, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010. Epazz Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Epazz Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As further discussed in Note 2, the Company has a significant accumulated deficit and continues to incur losses. The Company’s viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and the success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying interim financial statements of Epazz, Inc. (“Epazz”), an Illinois corporation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Epazz’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB. The ASC supersedes all existing U.S. accounting standards; all other accounting literature not included in the ASC (other than Securities and Exchange Commission guidance for publicly-traded companies) is considered non-authoritative. The ASC was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the ASC changed the Company’s references to U.S. GAAP but did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Epazz and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit of fifteen years. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from maintenance arrangements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the financial statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year for comparative purposes.
F-7
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2010, Epazz had an accumulated deficit of $1,871,205 and working capital deficit of $240,718. This creates a substantial doubt as to Epazz's ability to continue as a going concern.
Epazz will require substantial additional funding for continuing research and development, obtaining regulatory approval and for the commercialization of its products. Management expects to be able to raise enough funds to meet its working capital requirements through debt and/or equity financing. There is no assurance that Epazz will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to Epazz. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should Epazz be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 –INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2010:
Description | Life | Amount | ||||
Technology-based intangible assets | 15 years | $ | 680,720 | |||
Less: accumulated amortization | (114,075 | ) | ||||
Intangible assets, net | 566,645 |
NOTE 4 – LOANS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, Epazz borrowed an additional $170,371 from related parties. As of December 31, 2010, all interest related to related party loans payable was forgiven and no additional interest has been accrued as of December 31, 2010.
NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT
On June 5, 2007, Epazz obtained a line of credit of $100,000 from a bank. The outstanding balance on the line of credit bears interest at prime plus 4.5% (9.5% at December 31, 2008) and expires on July 5, 2010. On June 5, 2010 this line of credit was converted to a unsecured term loan which bears interest at 7% and has a maturity date of June 5, 2014. Payments of $1,050 are due monthly. At December 31, 2010 the balance on this unsecured loan was $95,430.
NOTE 6 – LONG-TERM NOTES PAYABLE
On June 4, 2008, the Company issued a note payable in the amount of $296,103 due to Star Financial Corporation, which is owned by Fay Passley, the mother of our Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Passley, which has since been amended (the “June 2008 Note”, as amended from time to time). The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 10%, with annual payments of principal and interest in the amount of $106,951, originally due and payable beginning on December 1, 2009 and a maturity date of June 4, 2013. In April 2010, Star Financial, agreed to modify the repayment terms of the June 2008 Note (as defined above), to provide for $100,000 to be due on August 1, 2011, $100,000 to be due on August 1, 2012, and the remaining balance of the June 2008 Note to be due on August 1, 2013 in return for junior lien on the Company’s assets.
In connection with the loan, the Company paid $14,100 (5%) in financing costs that are being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. The majority of the funds borrowed pursuant to the June 2008 Note were used to pay the seller the $210,000 payment in connection with the purchase of DFI and PRMI, as described below.
F-8
As part of the acquisition of Desk Flex, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“DFI”), and Professional Resource Management, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“PRMI”) on June 18, 2008, Epazz provided a 7% promissory note in the amount of $225,000. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, and all past-due principal and interest bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until paid in full. The principal amount of the note is due on June 18, 2011. The note is payable in monthly installments of $6,947 until such time as this Note is paid in full. Additionally, Epazz agreed to secure the payment of the note with a security interest over all of the tangible and intangible assets of DFI and PRMI, and the outstanding stock of both companies until the note is repaid.
As part of the purchase of the AutoHire software product, Epazz provided a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $50,000. The note is payable in monthly installments of $416 beginning May 5, 2010. A final payment of $40,000 is due on May 5, 2010. Until such time as this Note is paid in full.
NOTE 7 – LEASE OBLIGATIONS
As part of the purchase of the AutoHire software product and associated assets acquired, the Company entered into two separate capital lease agreements. The first lease calls for monthly lease payments of $2,238 with two months paid in advance and the remaining payments over 46 months. The second lease calls for monthly lease payments of $2,221 for 36 months.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows:
Twelve months ended December 31, 2010
2011 | $ | 30,908 | ||
2012 | 53,508 | |||
2013 | 46,845 | |||
2014 | 11,190 | |||
Total | $ | 142,451 |
NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued, and no such events have occurred.
NOTE 9. AQUISITIONS
On September 30, 2010, Epazz, Inc. acquired the voting rights and the net assets of IntelliSys, Inc. for $155,816. The purchase was made with a cash payment of $125,000 and a $30,816 6% 10 year seller note. The purchase resulted in goodwill of $53,588.

NOTE 10 - EXPLANATION OF OUR RESTATEMENT
Epazz, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “we,” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “First Amendment”) to its Annual Report for the Annual period ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2011 (the “Original Report”) in response to certain issues set forth in our Current Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 22, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”). The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the six months ending June 30, 2011 require restatement in order to correct errors related to the following:
The company determined that it had not properly recorded the September 30, 2010 acquisition of its subsidiary IntelliSys, Inc. Subsequently, the balance sheet has been adjusted to properly reflect the Goodwill that should have been recognized when the acquisition was initially recorded. Intangible assets, retained earnings and the Consolidated Statement of Operations have also been adjusted to correct related recording errors originally recorded at the time of the acquisition. The company also determined that it had omitted accrued liabilities that should have been recorded on the balance sheet dated December 31, 2010. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have been adjusted to correct this omission.
The company also determined that it did not properly record stock issued in exchange for services rendered. Accordingly, the stock transaction, which was originally recorded to prepaid expense has been reclassified to the company’s equity account.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Effective May 11, 2009, the client auditor relationship between the Company and GBH CPAs, PC ("GBH") was terminated as GBH was dismissed by the Company. Effective May 11, 2009, the Company engaged Lake & Associates CPA’S, LLC ("Lake & Associates") as its principal independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The decision to change accountants was recommended, approved and ratified by the Company's Board of Directors effective May 11, 2009.
GBH was engaged on or around September 10, 2007, after the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the client auditor relationship between the Company and Malone & Bailey, PC ("Malone"), the Company’s former auditor.
GBH's report on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and any later interim period, including the interim period up to and including the date the relationship with GBH ceased, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except for concerns about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the audit of the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and any later interim period, including the interim period up to and including the date the relationship with GBH ceased, there were no disagreements between GBH and the Company on a matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GBH would have caused GBH to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company's financial statements.
There have been no reportable events as provided in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K during the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and any later interim period, including the interim period up to and including the date the relationship with GBH ceased.
The Company has authorized GBH to respond fully to any inquiries of any new auditors hired by the Company relating to their engagement as the Company's independent accountant. The Company has requested that GBH review the disclosure and GBH has been given an opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company's expression of its views, or the respect in which it does not agree with the statements made by the Company herein. Such letter is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Report.
The Company has not previously consulted with Lake & Associates regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (iii) a reportable event (as provided in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) during the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and any later interim period, including the interim period up to and including the date the relationship with GBH ceased. Lake & Associates has reviewed the disclosure required by Item 304(a) before it was filed with the Commission and has been provided an opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company's expression of its views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304 (a). Lake & Associates did not furnish a letter to the Commission.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that all material information required to be filed in the annual report on Form 10-K has been made known to him.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon an evaluation conducted for the period ended December 31, 2009, Shaun Passley who is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (which duties include that of principal accounting officer) as of December 31, 2010, and the date of this Report, has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have identified the following material weakness of our internal controls:
· | Reliance upon independent financial reporting consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transactions. |
· | Lack of sufficient accounting staff, which results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control. |
In order to remedy our existing internal control deficiencies, as soon as our finances allow, we will hire a Chief Financial Officer who will be sufficiently versed in public company accounting to implement appropriate procedures for timely and accurate disclosures.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
(b) Changes in internal controls
We have not yet made any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Executive Compensation Philosophy
Our Board of Directors, consisting solely of Mr. Passley, determines the compensation given to our executive officers in its sole determination. Mr. Passley in his capacity as our sole Director has the power to set his own compensation, without the required approval of any other individual or shareholder. Additionally, our Board of Directors, currently consisting solely of Mr. Passley, reserves the right to issue our executives shares of Common Stock issued in consideration for services rendered and/or to award incentive bonuses which are linked to our performance, as well as to the individual executive officer’s performance in the future. This package may also include long-term stock based compensation to certain executives which is intended to align the performance of our executives with our long-term business strategies. Additionally, while our Board of Directors has not granted any performance based stock options to date, the Board of Directors reserves the right to grant such options in the future, if the Board in its sole determination believes such grants would be in the best interests of the Company.
Incentive Bonus
The Board of Directors may grant incentive bonuses to our executive officers in its sole discretion, if the Board of Directors believes such bonuses are in the Company’s best interest, after analyzing our current business objectives and growth, if any, and the amount of revenue we are able to generate each month, which revenue is a direct result of the actions and ability of such executives.
Long-term, Stock Based Compensation
In order to attract, retain and motivate executive talent necessary to support the Company’s long-term business strategy we may award certain executives with long-term, stock-based compensation in the future, in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, which we do not currently have any immediate plans to award.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.
