NETWORK CADENCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on July 19, 2007 as Sage Interactive, Inc. (“Sage”) to provide web development services to our customers.
On August 31, 2009, Sage consummated a share exchange with the sole member of Cadence II, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Cadence II"), pursuant to which it acquired all of the membership interests of Cadence II in exchange for the issuance to the sole member of Cadence II, 10,580,000 shares of our common stock representing 92.0% of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Share Exchange”), as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 1, 2009. After the Share Exchange, our business operations consist of those of Cadence II. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Network Cadence, Inc. (“Network Cadence” or the "Company") and Cadence II became our wholly owned subsidiary.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 reflects the financial statements and related disclosures for Network Cadence.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 1, 2009 in connection with the Share Exchange. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through November 27, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
4
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 and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recent Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards during 2009:
Accounting Standards Codification - - In June 2009, FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP. The ASC is a new structure which took existing accounting pronouncements and organized them by accounting topic. Relevant authoritative literature issued by the SEC and select SEC staff interpretations and administrative literature was also included in the ASC. All other accounting guidance not included in the ASC is non-authoritative. The ASC is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent Events - In May, 2009, the ASC guidance for subsequent events was updated to establish accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The update sets forth: (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the interim period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting for the Useful Life of Intangible Assets - In April 2008, the ASC guidance for Goodwill and Other Intangibles was updated to amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this update is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under guidance for business combinations. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Derivative Instruments - In March 2008, the ASC guidance for derivatives and hedging was updated for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Business Combinations - In December 2007, the ASC guidance for business combinations was updated to provide new guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The updated guidance also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009 and it will be applied to any future acquisitions.
5
Non-Controlling Interests – In December 2007, the ASC guidance for Non-Controlling Interests was updated to establish accounting and reporting standards pertaining to: (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (the “Non-Controlling Interest”), (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the Non-Controlling Interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained Non-Controlling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income based on such fair value. For presentation and disclosure purposes, the guidance requires the Non-Controlling Interests (formerly referred to as minority interest) to be classified as a separate component of equity. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There were various accounting standards and interpretations recently issued which have not yet been adopted, including:
Fair Value Accounting - In August 2009, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to further define fair value of liabilities. This update provides clarification for circumstances in which: (i) a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, (ii) the liability has a restriction that prevents its transfer, and (iii) the identical liability is traded as an asset in an active market in which no adjustments to the quoted price of an asset are required. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning October 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Variable Interest Entities - In June 2009, the ASC guidance for consolidation accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company currently is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
There were no other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company primarily sells its services to customers in the communications industry in the United States on an uncollateralized, open credit basis. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, one customer accounted for 97% of the Company's revenue.
Cash is maintained at financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) currently insures accounts at each institution for up to $250,000. At times, cash balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.
6
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable include uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms and do not bear interest.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected resulting from past due amounts from customers. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2009 since the total balance of accounts receivable was deemed collectible.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred or services are performed, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
Property and Equipment
Equipment and furniture are carried at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of equipment and furniture are charged to operations.
Fair Value Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2009. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values are assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature, or are receivable or payable on demand.
Segment Information
Certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company currently operates in one business segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements if it expands operations.
Significant Customers
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had a substantial business relationship with one major customer, SkyTerra Communications (“SkyTerra”). SkyTerra accounted for 97% and 100% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On November 2, 2009, SkyTerra notified the Company that they terminated its contract. As a result, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 50% and revenues moving forward will decrease by approximately 95%.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). The Company’s primary long-lived assets are goodwill, property and equipment. SFAS 144 requires a company to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Additionally, SFAS 144 requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a Goodwill impairment charge of $2,437,177 to reflect the loss of the SkyTerra contract in November 2009.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During the periods when they are anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.
Other
In connection with the share exchange, the Company adopted Cadence II's fiscal year end of December 31 as the Company's fiscal year end. Therefore, the financial numbers disclosed herein reflect a fiscal year end of December 31.
2. Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. As a result, they do not include adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern and would therefore be obligated to realize assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the normal course of operations. On November 2, 2009, the Company received a contract termination notice from its largest customer, SkyTerra. As a result, it is expected to lose approximately 95% of its revenue, effective November 2, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to raise funds provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. Once the Company can access the capital available through the public markets, it believes that this capital and any capital the Company raises through other private placements of our common stock will be adequate to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. The Company currently does not have enough cash to operate for the next 12 months without this additional capital.

3. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using primarily straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Property and equipment at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of the following:
| | | September 30, | | December 31, |
| | | 2009 | | | 2008 |
| | | unaudited | | | |
| | | | | | |
Computer related | | $ | 87,655 | | $ | 58,630 |
Equipment and machinery | | | 36,255 | | | 29,623 |
Other property and equipment | | 31,330 | | | 8,476 |
Subtotal | | | 155,240 | | | 96,729 |
Accumulated depreciation | | | (76,921) | | | (36,888) |
Net property and equipment | $ | 78,318 | | $ | 59,840 |
4. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) The provisions of SFAS 142 require that the Company allocate its goodwill to its various reporting units, determine the carrying value of those businesses, and estimate the fair value of the reporting units so that a two-step goodwill impairment test can be performed. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future discounted operating cash flows. If an impairment of the carrying value were to be indicated by this review, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2009 are as follows:
Balance as of June 30, 2009 | | $ | 2,437,177 | |
Goodwill impairment | | | (2,437,177 | ) |
Balance as of September 30, 2009 | | $ | (0 | ) |

5. Commitments and Contingencies
Consulting Agreements
The Company has entered into a variety of consulting agreements for services to be provided to the Company in the ordinary course of business. These agreements call for various payments upon performance of services and are generally short-term.
On September 15, 2009, the Company signed a Consulting Agreement with Capital Group Communications (“CGC”) of Sausalito, California, pursuant to which CGC agreed to provide consulting services to the Company for a 14-month period. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to compensate CGC with an issuance of 345,000 shares of restricted common stock. The fair market value of these services is estimated at $98,000 and, upon issuance of the shares, has been reflected in the operating expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Operating Leases
The Company has a lease commitment for its office facility. This lease has a monthly rental payment of approximately $11,400 at September 30, 2009 and expires in April 2010.
6. Related Parties
The Company has not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions with its executive officers, directors or significant stockholders. However, such transactions will, on a going-forward basis, be subject to the review, approval or ratification of its Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.
On May 26, 2009, the membership interests of Pat Burke and Ann Burke totaling 51% of Cadence II were purchased by Cadence II pursuant to a Purchase Agreement by and among Cadence II, Pat Burke and Ann Burke dated as of May 26, 2009, as previously disclosed on Item 10.2 on Network Cadence’s Form 8-K (Commission No. 000-52882), filed on September 1, 2009. The aggregate purchase price was $3,609,244 which was comprised of $661,977 in cash, $2,800,000 in a promissory note, $123,000 in property, and $24,267 estimated value in future health insurance benefits for the two members. The note is being repaid in 10 equal quarterly installments of $280,000 plus interest thereon, beginning August 31, 2009 with a maturity date of November 30, 2011. The note bears interest at the prime rate plus 4%. As of September 30, 2009, Network Cadence has made one payment of $333,947.95, which includes $280,000 in principal and $53,947.95 in interest. The outstanding principal balance as of September 30, 2009 is $2,520,000.
7. Capital Stock
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. As of September 30, 2009, there were 11,845,000 outstanding shares of common stock and no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

On October 27, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Network Cadence, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Company expects to submit the Incentive Plan for approval by its stockholders at the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. The Company’s Board of Director’s will administer the Incentive Plan until the Board of Directors delegates the administration to a committee of the Board of Directors.
The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to benefit the Company's stockholders by assisting the Company to further the growth and development of the Company by affording an opportunity for stock ownership to attract, retain and provide incentives to employees and directors of, and non-employee consultants to, the Company and its affiliates, and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining new employees, directors and consultants; to encourage growth of the Company through incentives that are consistent with the Company's goals; to provide incentives for individual performance; and to promote teamwork.
Under the Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock, deferred stock or other equity-based awards (each an “Award”) under the Plan Company's employees, directors and consultants (or those of the Company's affiliates). The Awards available under the Incentive Plan also include performance-based Awards, which would have pre-established performance goals that relate to the achievement of the Company’s business objectives. The performance-based stock Awards available under the plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"), to allow such Awards, when payable, to be tax deductible by the Company.
The Company has reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Incentive Plan. To the extent that an award expires, ceases to be exercisable, is forfeited or repurchased by the Company, any shares subject to the Award may be used again for new grants under the Incentive Plan. In addition, shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any Award (other than an option) may be used for grants under the Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to one or more awards to a participant pursuant to the Plan during any fiscal year of the Company is 1,000,000.
On November 24, the Company issued 60,000 restricted shares and 243,750 as incentive stock options.

9. Income Taxes
As a result of the Share Exchange on August 31, 2009, the Company became a “C” corporation. Therefore, the income tax expense and liability for the three months ended September 30, 2009 reflect the tax provision for the month ended September 30, 2009.
Significant management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized.
Effective August 31, 2009, Cadence II became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Network Cadence Inc through the Share Exchange. Cadence II was a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes prior to the Share Exchange and U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes were not provided for this entity as it was not a taxable entity. LLC members are required to report their share of our taxable income on their respective income tax returns. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company will be subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local taxes beginning in September 2009.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a net income tax expense of $98,438 and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s income tax expense related to income earned after completion of the Share Exchange.
The Company’s income taxes payable and net deferred tax liability as of September 30, 2009 were comprised primarily of the deferred taxes associated with the Purchase Agreement (Note 6) and the Share Exchange (Note 1) and were reduced by a full valuation allowance due to the going concern of the Company (Note 2).
10. Subsequent Events
Network Cadence provides professional services and business platform solutions to communication service providers. On November 2, 2009, Network Cadence received a contract termination notice from its largest customer, SkyTerra. As a result, the Company is expected to lose approximately 95% of revenue, effective November 2, 2009.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Form 8-K, filed on September 1, 2009 with the SEC.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 10-Q and other materials we will file with the SEC contain, or will contain, disclosures which are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, such as, but not limited to, the discussion of economic conditions in market areas and their effect on revenue growth, the discussion of our growth strategy, the effectiveness of our management information systems, and the availability of financing and working capital to meet funding requirements, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan” or “continue.” These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. These factors include, but are not limited to: economic conditions in the telecommunications industry; increased competition in the industry; our dependence on a certain customer; the availability of and costs associated with potential sources of financing; difficulties associated with managing future growth; our inability to manage our customer’s projects; the loss of key personnel; and our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel.
For a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this item of this report and the other risks and uncertainties that are set forth elsewhere in this report or detailed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission reports and filings. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, our management disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
On August 31, 2009, Sage consummated the Share Exchange with the sole member of Cadence II, pursuant to which it acquired all of the membership interests of Cadence II in exchange for the issuance to the sole member of Cadence II, 10,580,000 shares of our common stock representing 92.0% of our issued and outstanding common stock, as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 1, 2009. After the Share Exchange, our business operations consist of those of Cadence II. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Network Cadence, Inc. and Cadence II became our wholly owned subsidiary.
Network Cadence is focused on providing professional services and business platform solutions to CSPs in services and solutions are focused on the service delivery platform component of CSPs back office systems and enable CSPs to, among other things, operate more efficiently, introduce new products faster and deliver a better customer experience.
Network Cadence was established in 2006 and, for the past three years, has driven operational improvements and innovation with clients across the telecommunications landscape through professional services contracts. From architecture design to solution, or technology selection to delivery and implementation, Network Cadence has provided professional service solutions in all areas of operational support systems (service creation, order fulfillment, inventory, activation and provisioning, assurance and billing, among others).
While professional services remain the near term opportunity to drive revenue and operating margin growth, the Company expects to develop a unique platform (referred to as “Nimbus”) which we hope will position the Company to exploit the opportunity created by the continued growth in cloud computing. Nimbus will bridge the gap between 1) small and medium businesses that want expanded and integrated services via the “cloud,” 2) CSPs who need innovative, high-margin services to drive growth, and 3) Innovative Cloud Computing Solution Providers who want access to the large distribution channel that CSPs have developed for voice and data services. We believe that Nimbus can potentially open new revenue opportunities, protect investments made in existing services and create an exciting new distribution model for both CSPs and cloud computing solution providers in a low cost, high return manner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We monitor pronouncements issued by the various authoritative sources that serve to define and clarify GAAP, including statements issued by the FASB, the SEC, and the EITF, among others. There were various accounting standards and interpretations recently issued which have not yet been adopted, including:
Fair Value Accounting - In August 2009, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to further define fair value of liabilities. This update provides clarification for circumstances in which: (i) a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, (ii) the liability has a restriction that prevents its transfer, and (iii) the identical liability is traded as an asset in an active market in which no adjustments to the quoted price of an asset are required. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning October 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Variable Interest Entities - In June 2009, the ASC guidance for consolidation accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. This analysis identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company currently is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
There were no other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.
Recent Events
On November 2, 2009, our largest customer, SkyTerra, terminated our contract with them. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, SkyTerra accounted for 97% of our revenue. As a result, we were forced to eliminate 50% of our work force as our revenues are expected to decrease by approximately 95%.
14
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. As a result, they do not include adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern and would therefore be obligated to realize assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of operations. On November 2, 2009, the Company received a contract termination notice from its largest customer, SkyTerra. As a result, it is expected to lose approximately 95% of its revenue, effective November 2, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to raise funds provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. Once the Company can access the capital available through the public markets, it believes that this capital and any capital the Company raises through other private placements of our common stock will be adequate to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. The Company currently does not have enough cash to operate for the next 12 months without this additional capital.
Outlook
The Network Cadence business model seeks to provide solutions to traditional CSPs, enabling them to innovate and provide value-added services to their customers via cloud computing. We expect to accomplish our business model by utilizing the core competencies of our team to deliver and deploy Nimbus within the CSPs operating environment.
The Company will initially target Tier 1 CSPs domestically and internationally who have a desire to transform their operations to deliver highly optimized cloud-based services to their customers. In particular, Network Cadence will place a high priority on partnering with CSPs who intend to target the small-to-medium business customer, due to size of the opportunity for incremental services and revenue via cloud computing in the near term.
Revenues
With this outstanding market opportunity, Network Cadence is targeting three key revenue streams:
· | Nimbus implementation and integration |
· | Ongoing system upgrades |
· | Revenue share on CSPs new products and services |
As our revenues increase, we plan to continue to invest in marketing and sales by increasing our presence within the industry and well as continued targeted sales efforts within and outside the telecommunications industry. We do not expect significant revenue from the above streams until 2011.
Cost of Goods Sold
Our costs of goods sold include direct staff costs associated with professional service activities as well as ongoing costs associated with Nimbus upgrades and deployments. Our gross margins are expected to remain in the 50-70% range as we gain scale and efficiencies with each added customer.
Operating Expenses
With the expected growth in revenue, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase. We expect to continue to add supporting staff in areas of legal finance and operations as we growth the business. We also expect to continue to enhance the capabilities of Nimbus to meet the changes in technology within the industry.

Revenue: Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 72% and 53%, respectively, compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase is driven primarily by growth at our former major customer in 2009.
Cost of Goods Sold: Cost of goods sold, which consists mainly of wage related expenses and travel expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, increased 73% and 57%, respectively, reflecting the overall growth in revenue. Our gross profit remained fairly consistent and was 52% and 53% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, versus 53% and 52% for the comparable periods in 2009.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 160% and 117%, respectively, versus the comparable periods in 2008. This increase is driven by increased headcount, additional marketing costs and higher legal and accounting costs due to the Share Exchange and reporting requirements of a public entity.
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was ($2,489,150) and ($2,499,495), respectively, consisting primarily of a goodwill impairment of $2,437,177 due to the loss of our major customer.
Net Income (Loss): For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we reported a net loss of $1,529,146 and $349,606, respectively, compared to net income of $783,911 and $1,922,434 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Excluding the goodwill impairment, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we reported net income of $908,031 and $2,087,571, respectively. Excluding the goodwill impairment, our growth in net income was driven by increased revenue at our former major customer.
