VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTE REQUIRED
We are not seeking a consent, authorization or proxy from you. Section 228 of the DGCL permits the stockholders of a Delaware corporation to take action without a meeting upon the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Approval by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock was required to approve the Action.
As of the close of business on April 30, 2013, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote or execute a written consent on this matter, we had 135,506,992 shares of the Stock issued and outstanding, or the Outstanding Shares, of which 120,810,004 shares, representing approximately 89.2% of the total Outstanding Shares on April 30, 2013 were and continue to be held by Tri-State Employment Services, Inc., or TSE, and its affiliated entities and persons, including Mr. Robert Cassera, the sole beneficial owner of TSE, or collectively, the Consenting Stockholders. Each share of Stock is entitled to one vote and the Stock constitutes the only class of securities of the Company issued and outstanding. Each holder of our Stock on that date was entitled to cast one vote for each share of common stock registered in the holder’s name.
Under Delaware law and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the Outstanding Shares is required in order to authorize the Action. The Consenting Stockholders consented to the Written Consent, and because the Consenting Stockholders controlled an aggregate of approximately 89.2% of the Outstanding Shares on April 30, 2013, the Written Consent was sufficient to authorize the Company to act in accordance with the Action.

Overview
Until our acquisition by the CRS Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corporate Resource Services, Inc., on May 7, 2013, we were a division of Tri-Tel, a New York corporation, based in Little Rock, Arkansas. Summit was founded as Summit Software, Inc. in 1982 before its acquisition by Tri-Tel on January 4, 2008. Summit provides enterprise software applications and cloud-based hosting solutions for the professional employer organization, or PEO, and staffing industries. Included in its suite of products is the Summit APEX payroll processing system, StaffSoft candidate tracking system and client contact management, general ledger and web self-service modules. Summit’s applications allow more than 270 PEO and staffing clients to customize comprehensive plans for their clients that alleviate the burden of business and human resource management. Summit’s client base ranges in size from startup firms to those managing tens of thousands of employees.
Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2012 (audited) compared to year ended December 31, 2011(unaudited)
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2012, our revenues increased by $558,826, or 28.9%, to $2,490,773 from $1,931,947 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was driven primarily by a volume increase as the demand for our cloud-based hosting systems increased. We expect that the continued demand for the Summit cloud-based hosting services and the currently regulatory environment, including implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or the Affordable Care Act, will continue to drive demand for PEO and staffing services and the software applications necessary to manage their exposure.
Cost of revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2012 our cost of revenues increased $65,050, or 11.8%, to $616,570 from $551,520 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The cost increase is driven by our increased revenues while the cost of revenues percentage of revenues decreased from 28.5% to 24.8% due to the dilution of our relatively fixed software development costs over increased revenues.
Gross profit
For the year ended December 31, 2012, our gross profit increased from $493,776, or 35.8%, to $1,874,203 from $1,380,427 for the year ended December 31, 2011. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin increased from 71.5% in 2011 to 75.2% in 2012. The increase in our gross profit margin is due to our relatively fixed software development costs as a percentage of increased revenues. Although we expect potential increases in software developer costs to sustain and augment our growth in the future, we expect that revenues will outpace this increase and that our gross margin as a percentage of revenues will continue to improve.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $46,180, or 7.2%, to $687,542, or 24.8% of revenues, from $641,362, or 33.2% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily related to direct costs associated with our growth. The decrease in expenses as a percentage of revenues is due to the relatively fixed cost of our administrative salaries, which is the primary driver of our selling, general and administrative expenses. While we expect selling, general and administrative expenses will increase with our expected continued growth in revenues, we expect these expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenues as administrative salaries remain reasonably constant.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation of building and equipment was $30,285 for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Net income before the provision for income tax
The factors described above resulted in net income of $1,156,376 before the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to net income of $708,780 before the provision for income taxes for the year December 31, 2011.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $319,685 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $148,498 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our statutory tax rate for both periods was 39.2% of net income before the provision for income taxes and is adjusted based on our estimates of deferred income taxes.
Net income
The factors described above resulted in net income of $836,691 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to net income of $560,282 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Quarter ended March 31, 2013 (unaudited) compared to year ended March31,2012(unaudited)
Revenues
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our revenues increased by $113,999, or 18.9%, to $717,888 from $603,889 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase was driven primarily by a volume increase as the demand for our cloud-based hosting systems increased. We expect that the continued demand for the Summit cloud-based hosting services and the currently regulatory environment, including implementation of the Affordable Care Act will continue to drive demand for PEO and staffing services and the software applications necessary to manage their exposure.
Cost of revenues
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our cost of revenues increased $47,784, or 38.0%, to $173,666 from $125,882 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The cost increase is driven by our increased revenues while the cost of revenues percentage of revenues increased from 20.8% to 24.2% primarily due to the increase in social security tax rates on January 1, 2013 and the timing of material purchases partially offset by our relatively fixed software development costs over increased revenues.
Gross profit
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our gross profit increased from $66,215, or 13.9%, to $544,222 from $478,007 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin decreased from 79.2% in the 2012 quarter to 75.8% in the 2013 quarter. The decrease in our gross profit margin is primarily due to the increase in social security tax rates on January 1, 2013 and the timing of material purchases partially offset by our relatively fixed software development costs over increased revenues. Although we expect potential increases in software developer costs to sustain and augment our growth in the future, we expect that revenues will outpace this increase and that our gross margin as a percentage of revenues will continue to improve.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $16,063, or 9.1%, to $192,830, or 26.9% of revenues, from $176,767, or 29.3% of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to direct costs associated with our growth. The decrease in expenses as a percentage of revenues is due to the relatively fixed cost of our administrative salaries, which is the primary driver of our selling, general and administrative expenses. While we expect selling, general and administrative expenses will increase with our expected continued growth in revenues, we expect these expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenues as administrative salaries remain reasonably constant.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation of building and equipment was $7,571 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Net income before the provision for income tax
The factors described above resulted in net income of $343,821 before the provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to net income of $293,669 before the provision for income taxes for the quarter March 31, 2012.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $101,967 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $80,959 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Our statutory tax rate for both periods was 39.2% of net income before the provision for income taxes and is adjusted based on our estimates of deferred income taxes.
Net income
The factors described above resulted in net income of $241,854 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net income of $212,710 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
Our working capital was $179,015 at December 31, 2012. We have not needed working capital to finance our growth and have been able to pay a substantial portion of the original debt Tri-Tel incurred to our related party lenders in connection with our acquisition in 2008.
Cash Flows
We have relied on net income from sales of software licenses, services and support to generate positive cash flows. Our management believes that net income generated from such operations will continue into the foreseeable future.

From the Statement of Cash Flows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, | | | Quarter Ended March 31, |
| | 2012 | | 2011 | | | 2013 | | 2012 |
| | (audited) | | (unaudited) | | | (unaudited) | | (unaudited) |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | 725,941 | | $ | 716,167 | | | $ | 1,228,300 | | $ | (124,336) |
Net cash used in (provided by) financing activities | | | (802,168) | | | (718,241) | | | | (1,256,044) | | | 54,499 |
Net increase (decrease) in cash | | | (76,227) | | | (2,074) | | | | (27,744) | | | (69,837) |
Cash at the beginning of the period | | | 109,364 | | | 111,438 | | | | 33,137 | | | 109,364 |
Cash at the end of the period | | $ | 33,137 | | $ | 109,364 | | | $ | 5,393 | | $ | 39,527 |
Cash provided by operating activities was $725,941 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $716,167 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $1,228,300 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with cash used in operating activities of $124,336 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. In the year ended December 31, 2012, our cash flow from operating activities primarily reflected net income of $836,691 and a $229,084 increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a $231,870 increase in accounts receivable and a $133,614 increase in deferred income taxes. In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our cash flow from operating activities reflected net income of $241,854 and $1,094,125 increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a $62,716 increase in accounts receivable and $32,811 increase in deferred income taxes.
We used $802,168 and $1,256,044 in financing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, respectively, for the repayment of a portion of the original purchase price paid by Tri-Tel in connection with our acquisition in 2008. As a result of the foregoing, our cash and cash equivalents decreased to $33,137 at December 31, 2012 from $109,364 at December 31, 2011 and decreased to $5,393 at March 31, 2013 from $39,527 at March 31, 2012. We believe that, as of March 31, 2013, our existing cash
and the cash flows expected from operations will be sufficient to support our operating and capital requirements during the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following represents a summary of the critical accounting policies, which our management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and involve inherently uncertain issues that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
Revenue Recognition. Software and related service revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Multi-year licensing arrangements typically include a perpetual license for current products combined with rights to receive future versions of software products on a when-and-if-available basis and are accounted for as subscriptions, with billings recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period. Revenue from certain arrangements that allow for the use of a product or service over a period of time without taking possession of software are also accounted for as subscriptions.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the cost of acquiring a business that exceeds the net fair value ascribed to its identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill is are not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the economic climate that would make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of our most recent fiscal
year end, we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no accounting pronouncements that have been recently issued or are not yet effective that will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on the Company’s net revenues and results of operations, as the Company has been able to modify its prices and cost structure to respond to inflation and changing prices.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the May 7, 2013 acquisition of Summit by our company under an "as if pooling-of-interests" method of accounting required by US GAAP because Tri-Tel, the owner of Summit, together with its affiliated entities and persons, was the beneficial owner of 90.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock following the acquisition of Summit, including the shares to be issued to Tri-Tel in connection with the acquisition. The “as if pooling-of-interests” gives effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The historical financial statement of Summit is contained elsewhere in this Information Statement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the pooling of interests based on the historical balance sheet of our company and its subsidiaries as of September 28, 2012 and the balance sheet of Summit as of September 30, 2012. The audited balance sheet information of our company and its subsidiaries was derived from our audited balance sheet at September 28, 2012 that is included in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which was filed with the SEC on May 7, 2013 and is incorporated by reference into this document.
Effective January 14, 2013, the board of directors of our company determined to change our fiscal year from the Friday closest to September 30th to the Friday closest to December 31. The change was intended to align our company’s fiscal periods more closely with the seasonality of our business and improve comparability with industry peers. Our fiscal quarters are the interim 13 week periods of the fiscal year, with the first quarter of a 53-week fiscal year extended to 14 weeks.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are presented as of September 28, 2012 and are based on our most recently completed fiscal year. Our historical results were derived from our audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 28, 2012 that was included in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which was filed with the SEC on May 7, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In complying with US GAAP requirements for pooling-of-interests, the financial results of Summit were included in the financial statements of our company that were part of Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended on April 5, 2013, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2013.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Summit and the Company been combined during the specified periods. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements referred to above.
The historical information with respect to Summit has been recast to provide its balance sheet and statement of operations as if its fiscal year had ended on September 30, 2012.

AUTHORIZATION OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES
OTHERWISE THAN FOR EXCHANGE
Pursuant to the Action, we are increasing our authorized share capital by 40,000,000 shares of the Stock, or the Additional Shares. The Additional Shares shall be part of the same class, and therefore be vested with the same rights and privileges, as the currently authorized shares of the Stock. None of the currently authorized shares of the Stock are, and thus none of the Additional Shares will be, vested with preemptive rights.
We intend to use the Additional Shares to, among other things, satisfy our obligations under the Agreement, dated May 7, 2013, among us, The CRS Group, Inc. and Tri-Tel, under which we acquired certain of the assets of the Summit Software division of Tri-Tel.
The Summit Transaction
On May 7, 2013, we entered into the Agreement to acquire certain of the Summit assets and assume certain of its liabilities from Tri-Tel, allowing us to horizontally integrate our sales and marketing relationships with our temporary employees and our customers in a manner that we expect will yield higher margin revenues. Tri-Tel is a related party that is owned by Robert Cassera, a member of our Board who is the beneficial owner of 90.5% of the outstanding shares of our Stock through personal holdings and entities owned by him. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we recorded the acquisition of the Summit assets as a pooling-of-interests. We pursued the transaction in order to increase our revenues and obtain a presence as a provider of software to the professional employer organization industry. There were no federal or state regulatory requirements with which we were required to comply with respect to the transaction.
Founded in 1982 and based in Little Rock, Arkansas, Summit provides enterprise software applications and cloud-based hosting solutions for the PEO and staffing industries. Included in its suite of products is the Summit APEX payroll processing system, StaffSoft candidate tracking system and client contact management, general ledger and web self-service modules. Summit’s applications allow clients to customize comprehensive plans for their clients that alleviate the burden of business and human resource management. Summit’s client base ranges in size from start-up firms to those managing tens of thousands of employees.
Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to issue an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of Stock to Tri-Tel, valued at $0.6469 per share, equal to $13,750,000, which was the agreed upon value of Summit’s business operations as of May 7, 2013, or the Closing Date, as consideration for the acquisition of certain assets of Summit. We had an insufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Stock to fulfill our obligations under the Agreement as of the Closing Date and we agreed to issue the 21,000,000 shares of Stock to Tri-Tel at such time as our Certificate of Incorporation was amended to increase the number of authorized shares to permit such issuance.
The Agreement required the approval of the Board and a majority of the members of the Special Committee of the Board, consisting of independent directors, formed to consider the acquisition, or the Special Committee. On March 28, 2013 an independent valuation firm issued an opinion to the Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the unaffiliated shareholders of our company of the purchase price. The independent valuation firm concluded from its fairness evaluation that the purchase price, which was agreed upon by us and Tri-Tel, was within a range of fair market values for the acquisition. In order to issue the fairness opinion, the independent valuation firm reviewed, among other things, (i) the Agreement; (ii) capital market information; (iii) our historical financial statements; (iv) Tri-Tel’s historical financial statements for Summit; (v) our operations, financial condition, future prospects and projected operations; (vi) multi-year financial forecasts provided by our company; and (vii) publicly available financial and operating information concerning other companies that the independent valuation firm deemed relevant. The independent valuation firm also discussed the operations, financial condition, future prospects and projected operations and performance of our company and Summit with officers of our company, Summit’s founder and Summit’s accountant. The Board selected the independent valuation firm to conduct a fairness analysis of the Acquisition based upon its reputation and experience with conducting valuation assessments. The independent valuation firm has been providing business valuation services since 1974.
The Special Committee authorized the Acquisition by a unanimous vote on April 18, 2013 and the Board authorized the acquisition pursuant to a unanimous vote on April 30, 2013. The Acquisition became effective on the Closing Date.
Background of the Transaction
In the fall of 2012, our Board and senior management began exploring ways in which we could expand our service offerings to focus more on technology, particularly the technology we use on a daily basis. Since our billing and associated payroll is processed by TS Employment through software provided by Summit, the potential acquisition of Summit by our company was proposed and Robert Caserra, our controlling shareholder and beneficial owner of 89.4% of our Stock, began exploring the feasibility of such a transaction. In November 2012, we engaged the independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of the assets we would acquire and the liabilities that we would assume from Summit, as well as to determine the fair value of our common stock, which we believed to be illiquid..
During the course of February and early March, we and Tri-Tel, along with Carter, Ledyard & Milburn, LLP, or Carter, as our legal advisor and Michael Agusta, Esq. as Tri-Tel’s legal advisor, negotiated the terms of the Agreement as well as other related agreements and transaction documents.
On April 11, 2013 , our Board received an update from management and Carter, our outside legal counsel, on the status of the due diligence process as well as unresolved issues in the negotiations with Tri-Tel , including an explanation of various matters relating to the proposed transaction and the Agreement. Also at this meeting, representatives of the independent valuation firm reviewed with our Board their financial analysis of the proposed transaction as of that date and communicated they had determined the fair value of our Stock,
which had an average closing price of $0.98 for the thirty previous days, to be $0.6469 per share, and that the fair value of Summit was $13.75 million, or 21 million shares of our Stock. The independent valuation firm rendered to our Board a fairness opinion as of that date, to the effect that, and based on and subject to the matters described in the opinion, the consideration to be paid in the transaction was not dilutive to our unaffiliated shareholders.
On April 18, 2013, the Special Committee held a meeting to consider and approve the proposed Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. During such meeting, representatives of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, counsel to the Special Committee, provided an explanation of various legal issues relating to the proposed transaction and the Agreement, including the fiduciary duties of the directors, the personal interests of Mr. Caserra in the proposed transaction and the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. The Special Committee then approved the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
On April 30, 2013 , our Board of Directors held a meeting to consider and approve the proposed Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. During this meeting, the Special Committee communicated its approval of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Our Board then approved the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and authorized management to execute the Agreement. The Agreement was executed on May 7, 2013.
THE SUMMIT ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Upon the consummation of the Summit transaction on May 7, 2013, we acquired certain of the Summit assets and assumed certain of its liabilities from Tri-Tel. Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to issue an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of Stock to Tri-Tel, valued at $0.6469 per share, equal to $13,750,000.
We, the CRS Group, Inc. and Tri-Tel made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement. The Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2013.

Accounting Treatment
In accordance with US GAAP, we gave effect to the May 7, 2013 acquisition of Summit by our company under an "as if pooling-of-interests" method of accounting because Tri-Tel, the owner of Summit, together with its affiliated entities and persons, was the beneficial owner of 90.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock following our acquisition of Summit, including the shares to be issued to Tri-Tel in connection with the acquisition.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
The increase in our share capital will permit us to fulfill our obligation to Tri-Tel to issue an aggregate of 21,000,000 of our shares of Stock as consideration for our acquisition of certain assets of Summit from Tri-Tel pursuant to the Agreement. Our controlling shareholder and director, Mr. Robert Cassera, is also the controlling shareholder and beneficial owner of the shares of Tri-Tel.

PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS
The Agreement provides certain piggyback registration rights with respect to 21,000,000 shares of Stock to be issued to Tri-Tel.

include a specified number of the shares of Stock received pursuant to the Agreement in that registration statement or offering.
This piggy-back registration right is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration and our right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. We will generally pay all registration expenses in connection with our registration obligations under the Agreement, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock presently consists of 145,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.
As of July 1, 2013, there were 135,806,992 shares of our common stock outstanding, held by approximately 435 stockholders of record, and no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding.
Common Stock
Dividend Rights. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine. See the section titled “Dividend Policy” for additional information.
Voting Rights. Subject to the terms of any preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our directors will be subject to election by a plurality of the votes cast at each annual meeting of our stockholders.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights. Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not entitled to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions. If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes,
could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Law
We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years of the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an “interested stockholder,” did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions
Our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our management team, including the following:
Board of Directors Vacancies. The Delaware General Corporation Law and our amended and restated bylaws authorize our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by our board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our amended and restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
No Cumulative Voting. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting.
Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our board of directors will have the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:
| • | | for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
| • | | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| • | | for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 174 of the DGCL; or |
| • | | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions will be prospective only and would not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Manhattan Transfer Registrar Company.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The accounts are insured up to $250,000. The balances, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on such accounts and management believes that there is little risk of loss.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Although Summit’s customers have the right to terminate their subscription contracts under certain conditions, management considers this likelihood to be remote based on the critical enterprise nature of its software and does not record an allowance for such cancellations.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost of acquiring a business that exceeds the net fair value ascribed to its identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the economic climate that

would make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Related Party Transactions
Related party advances are loans from Tri-Tel and other affiliates of Tri-Tel’s sole owner, Mr. Robert Cassera (collectively, “Tri-State”). These advances consist of amounts related to Tri-Tel’s acquisition of Summit in 2008, amounts due to Tri-Tel for income taxes and other working capital advances and repayments.
Revenue Recognition
Software and related service revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Multi-year licensing arrangements typically include a perpetual license for current products combined with rights to receive future versions of software products on a when-and-if-available basis and are accounted for as subscriptions, with billings recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period. Revenue from certain arrangements that allow for the use of a product or service over a period of time without taking possession of software are also accounted for as subscriptions.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Summit recorded advertising expenses of $305 (audited) and $30,475 (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $153 (unaudited) and no expense (unaudited) for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income Taxes
Summit is included in the tax returns of Tri-Tel. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with US GAAP as if it was a separate company using the liability method. The liability method provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.
US GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination.
Any current liability for income taxes is included in the related party advances liability section of the balance sheet.

Quarters Ended March 31, 2013 (unaudited) and 2012 (unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

3. | Concentration of Credit Risk |
No customers accounted for more than 10% of Summit’s revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 or the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012; as a result, management does not believe that the loss of any one customer would have a material business impact.

On May 7, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), Tri-Tel entered in to an asset purchase agreement in pursuant to which Corporate Resource Services Group, Inc. (“CRS Group”) acquired Summit. CRS Group’s parent company, Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (“CRS”), was 90.5% owned by Tri-State as of the Acquisition Date.
Because Summit, Tri-Tel and CRS are all controlled by Tri-State and its affiliates, the acquisition is being recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under US GAAP for business combinations of entities under common control. Consequently, no goodwill will be recognized and pushed-down upon recording this acquisition, and Summit’s future individual financial statements will reflect its assets and liabilities at their existing recorded amounts.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, CRS Group acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities in exchange for 21,000,000 shares of CRS common stock, valued at $0.65 per share, or $13.75 million, the agreed upon value of Summit’s business operations.
Summit did not identify any further subsequent events that required additional disclosure or adjustments in our financial statements through the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
