Part I — Financial Information
 
Item 1. Financial Statements

Our June 30, 2008 unaudited consolidated financial statements follow this quarterly report beginning on page F-1.
 
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

B.H.I.T. Inc. is a shell company without significant operations or sources of revenues other than its investments. Our existing operations relate primarily to servicing our cash investment portfolio and maximizing existing capital with stable interest generating instruments. However, our new management team is aggressively investigating potential operating companies to acquire and additional sources of financing.

On July 24, 2008 we entered into an asset purchase agreement with L.A. Colo, LLC (“Colo”) and Iron Rail Group, LLC, the current owner of Colo, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of Colo for $15.0 million, subject to adjustment. Colo has provided railroad maintenance and construction services to short line railroads and industrial customers for 25 years. Colo’s services include: construction of new spurs, sidings, loop tracks, rail-yards and intermodal facilities, maintenance for mechanized rail and tie change-out production, panel turnout construction and installation, crossing installation and maintenance, production surfacing, track inspection and reporting, planned and scheduled maintenance and track pick-up and removal. Completing the acquisition is contingent on the satisfaction of standard conditions, including our being satisfied with due diligence and finalizing our financing arrangements. There can be no assurances that the transaction will be completed on the proposed terms, or at all. For more information regarding the proposed acquisition, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 28, 2008.

In June 2007, we sold 10.0 million of our common shares in a private placement for $0.10 a share for a total of $1.0 million. Currently we are focusing our efforts on railroad track repair and maintenance businesses, but we cannot guarantee we will complete an acquisition in this industry. Accordingly, we may explore potential acquisitions in other industries as well.

Our History
 
The company was originally organized under the laws of the State of Massachusetts in 1985, under the name VMS Hotel Investment Trust, for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans, principally to entities affiliated with VMS Realty Partners. These loans were collateralized by hotel and resort properties. The company was subsequently reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987 and changed its name to B.H.I.T. Inc. in 1998.

As the result of a public offering in 1986, the company received gross proceeds of $98,482,751. From 1989 to 1992 we experienced severe losses due primarily to a decline in real estate property values and the resulting default on mortgage loans held by us. The company has recorded losses every year since 1989 resulting in the accumulated deficit totaling $87,357,623 on June 30, 2008.

In September 2000, Summa Holdings, Inc. (“Summa”), formerly known as Arrowhead Holdings Corporation, purchased 5,870,563 shares of our stock, or 39.2% of the outstanding shares. Subsequent purchases of our shares resulted in Summa owning a total of 6,243,563 shares, or 41.7% of the outstanding shares on December 31, 2006.

On January 24, 2007, a group of private investors purchased all of the BHIT shares held by Summa. As a result of the transaction, James Benenson, Jr. and John V. Curci each resigned as directors and officers of the company and Paul S. Dennis, Gary O. Marino, Harvey J. Polly and Andrew H. Scott were appointed to fill vacancies in the board. In April 2008 Mr. Scott resigned from the board to pursue other business interests.

Forward Looking Statements
 
Some of the statements that we make in this report, including statements about our confidence in BHIT’s prospects and strategies are forward-looking statements within the meaning of § 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” or similar terms; others can be determined by context. Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are necessarily estimates reflecting our best judgment based upon current information, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect the accuracy of these forward-looking statements, causing our actual results to differ significantly from those anticipated in these statements. While it is impossible to identify all applicable risks and uncertainties, they include our ability to:
 
·
execute our business plan by identifying and acquiring an operating company;
 
·
obtain appropriate financing to complete potential acquisitions;
 
·
effectively invest our existing funds and raise additional capital to fund our operations;
 
·
comply with SEC regulations and filing requirements applicable to us as a public company; and
 
·
successfully acquire and operate Colo.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only as of the date of this report. The risks and uncertainties listed above and elsewhere in this report and other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, and any current reports on Form 8-K, must be carefully considered by any investor or potential investor in BHIT.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
 
Our total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $11,406, compared to $16,837 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $5,431, or 32.3%. Revenues decreased as the result of lower interest rates earned on invested funds.

Our total expenses for the second quarter of 2008 increased $16,362, or 49.5%, to $49,400, compared to $33,038 for the second quarter of 2007. The increase was caused by higher general and administrative expenses in 2008 as a result of professional fees associated with exploring potential acquisition candidates.

Accordingly, our net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $37,994 ($0.002 per share), compared to a net loss of $16,201 ($0.001 per share) in 2007, an increase of $21,793.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
 
Our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $29,156, compared to $30,648 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $1,492, or 4.9%. Revenues decreased as the result of lower interest earned on invested funds. Lower interest rates were partially offset by an increase in funds from the proceeds of our June 2007 private placement.

Our total expenses for the first half of 2008 decreased $115,931, or 50.0%, to $115,934, compared to $231,865 for the first half of 2007. The decrease was caused by $180,000 in stock based compensation expense recognized in 2007 arising from the issuance of stock options to members of the board of directors, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses in 2008 as a result of professional fees associated with exploring potential acquisition candidates.

Accordingly, our net loss for the first half of 2008 was $86,778 ($0.003 per share), compared to a net loss of $201,217 ($0.012 per share) in 2007, a decrease of $114,439.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments. Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2008 was $2,029,053, a decrease of $240,001 from $2,269,054 at December 31, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents decreased in the first half of 2008 primarily as the result of our net loss for the period and deferred acquisition and financing costs incurred in connection with exploring potential acquisition candidates.

At this time, we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, other than our purchase of Colo. In addition, we are reviewing various other acquisition opportunities. We believe our cash is sufficient to meet our needs for anticipated operating expenses as a shell company for 2008. However, we are exploring additional sources of financing to fund the possible acquisition of Colo and other operating companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Nature of Operations
B.H.I.T. Inc. (“BHIT,” “we,” “our” or the “company”) was originally organized under the laws of the State of Massachusetts in 1985, under the name VMS Hotel Investment Trust, for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans, principally to entities affiliated with VMS Realty Partners. The company was subsequently reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987. We changed our name from Banyan Hotel Investment Fund to B.H.I.T. Inc. in 1998.

Currently BHIT is a shell company without significant operations or sources of revenues other than its investments. However, our management team is aggressively investigating potential operating companies to acquire and additional sources of financing. Currently we are focusing our efforts on railroad track repair and maintenance businesses, but we cannot guarantee we will complete an acquisition in this industry and we may explore potential acquisitions in other industries as well.
 
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these financial statements give effect to all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited.

Although we believe that the disclosures included in our financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with BHIT’s latest annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 2008 year.
 
Stock Offering
On June 8, 2007, the company sold an aggregate of 10.0 million shares of its common stock in a private placement to a total of 36 accredited investors, primarily existing stockholders of the company. The shares were sold at a price of $0.10 a share for a total of $1.0 million.

Notes to Financial Statements

Stock-Based Compensation
The company has stock option agreements with its directors that provide for the issuance of a total of 2.0 million shares of common stock. We entered into stock option agreements for the purchase of a total of 1.0 million shares with our directors on March 2, 2007, with an exercise price of $0.15 a share, as compensation for serving on the board in 2007. We entered into stock option agreements for the purchase of an additional 1.0 million shares on October 23, 2007, with an exercise price of $0.35 a share, as compensation for serving on the board in 2008. The number of options issued and the grant dates were determined at the discretion of the company’s board. Grantees vested in the options immediately. Options granted under the plan are exercisable for a period not to exceed three years. No options were exercised during 2007 or during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The fair values of the stock options issued during 2007 have been estimated using the Black-Scholes method, whereby the valuation model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield, and the risk free interest rate. Management has determined that the March 2, 2007 options have a value of $0.18 per share ($180,000 in total) and the October 23, 2007 options have a value of $0.25 per share ($250,000 in total) resulting in total compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $430,000.

Expected volatility rate was estimated using the average volatility rates of fourteen public companies in the financial and business services industry. The weighted average assumptions used in the option-pricing models during 2007 were as follows:

   
4.28
%
Expected life (years)
   
3
 
   
69.67
%
Dividend yield
   
0
 

The stock options are not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to elect measuring eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company did not elect to measure eligible items at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
(Unaudited)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was to be effective for BHIT on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released a FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2 — Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157) which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for BHIT to January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the company’s financial condition and operating results.
 
Subsequent Events
On July 24, 2008 we entered into an asset purchase agreement with L.A. Colo, LLC (“Colo”) and Iron Rail Group, LLC, the current owner of Colo, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of Colo for $15.0 million, subject to adjustment. Colo has provided railroad maintenance and construction services to short line railroads and industrial customers for 25 years. Completing the acquisition is contingent on the satisfaction of standard conditions, including our being satisfied with due diligence and finalizing our financing arrangements. There can be no assurances that the transaction will be completed on the proposed terms, or at all. In connection with this acquisition, the company has incurred certain acquisition and financing costs totaling $124,837 as of June 30, 2008.
