NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.  
Throughout this report, the terms “we”, “us”, “ours”, “ISC” and “company” refer to Intelligent Systems Corporation, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
 
2.  
The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ISC management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which comprise only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
 
3.  
Discontinued Operations — Effective April 16, 2008, the company and two subsidiaries, VISaer, Inc. and VISaer (U.K.) Limited (collectively, “VISaer”) completed the sale of substantially all the assets related to VISaer’s business pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) between IBS Technics, Inc. (“IBS Technics”) and the company and VISaer. IBS Technics is a subsidiary of IBS Software Services, Inc., a software services company that had previously provided certain software development services to VISaer as an independent third party contractor.
 
   
The purchase price consisted of $3,025,000 paid in cash at closing plus future earn-out and contingent payments to be paid over four years based on certain performance metrics of the VISaer business following the sale, with guaranteed minimum payments aggregating $1.5 million in cash (discounted to a net present value of $1,278,000), payable in three equal installments in 2010, 2011 and 2012. In addition, IBS Technics assumed approximately $258,000 in liabilities of VISaer related to employee vacation benefits and $437,000 payable to IBS Technics for prior services. IBS hired the VISaer employees as of the effective date of the transaction. IBS Technics acquired assets, net of liabilities, of $48,000 related to customer contracts and assumed the ongoing liabilities and obligations associated with such contracts. We retained the remainder of the liabilities of the VISaer business along with cash and accounts receivable aggregating approximately $465,000 as of the closing date. Based on the carrying value of the assets and liabilities transferred to IBS Technics and the estimated costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale, the company reported a gain on the sale transaction of $2,884,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
 
   
The transaction also provides for contingent payments which may be earned based on the attainment by the acquired VISaer business of certain levels of revenue in each of the calendar years 2008 through 2011. As the amount, if any, of such payments is not quantifiable at this time, no amount has been recorded for such contingency payments.
 
   
The following condensed financial information is provided for the VISaer discontinued operations for the periods shown.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) — In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity in a period. A summary follows:

5.  
Stock-based Compensation — At June 30, 2008, we have two stock-based compensation plans in effect. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) which replaced APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. We adopted SFAS No.123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of SFAS 123R on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense is recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, we recorded $6,000 and $4,000 of stock based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $9,000 and $4,000 of stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The estimated fair value of options granted is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as previously disclosed in our Form 10-KSB.
As of June 30, 2008, there is $24,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, an aggregate of 12,000 options were granted to the three independent members of the board of directors pursuant to the Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Director Plan, the options were granted at fair market value on the date of the Annual Shareholders meeting. No options were exercised or forfeited during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008. The following table summarizes options as of June 30, 2008:
                                 
                    Wgt Avg     Aggregate  
            Wgt Avg     Remaining Life     Intrinsic  
    # of Shares     Exercise Price     in Years     Value  
Outstanding at June 30, 2008
    221,000     $ 2.46       4.9     $ 201,582  
Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2008
    203,000     $ 2.37       4.5     $ 201,582  
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of 2008 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2008. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the company’s stock.

Commitments and Contingencies — Please refer to Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2007 Form 10-KSB for a description of our commitments and contingencies. As a result of the sale of the VISaer business as described in Note 3, the VISaer property lease was assumed by the buyer. Accordingly, our future minimum lease payments for 2008, 2009 and 2010 will be lower than previously reported by $108,000, $145,000 and $85,000, respectively.
Legal Matters — In December 2004, ChemFree filed a patent infringement action against J. Walter Co. Ltd. and J. Walter, Inc. in the United States Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaint alleges that certain of the defendant’s products infringe various U.S. patents held by ChemFree and seeks a ruling to compel the defendant to cease its infringing activities. The defendant has asserted various defenses. The parties are in the discovery phase of the case and no trial date has been set. While the resolution and timing of any legal action is not predictable, ChemFree believes it has sufficient grounds to prevail in these actions, although there can be no assurance that the disputes will be resolved in its favor. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, several rulings were made by the judge assigned to the case with respect to various motions submitted by ChemFree and J. Walter Co. Ltd. and J. Walter, Inc. One of the rulings awarded ChemFree legal expenses related to a certain matter in an amount to be determined. Since the amount and timing of the award have not been determined at this time, no amount for awarded legal expenses has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this filing.

ISC Guarantees — In conjunction with a Software License Agreement entered into on June 12, 2003 between our CoreCard subsidiary and a CoreCard customer, ISC entered into a letter of guarantee with the CoreCard customer. Under the guarantee, in the event that the Software License is terminated due to CoreCard discontinuing operations, ISC guaranteed to make available at its expense up to four employees to provide technical assistance to the customer during a transition period of up to one year. The guarantee expired unexercised in June 2008.
VISaer Stock Purchase Transaction — On April 3, 2008, the company acquired additional shares of common stock of VISaer, Inc. from a minority shareholder. The purchase price for the stock was $125,000 paid in cash plus an additional amount to be paid in the future, contingent upon the net amount of cash realized by Intelligent Systems (calculated in accordance with a formula agreed between the parties) resulting from the VISaer sale transaction. Presently, the company estimates that the additional amount that would be payable to the minority shareholder in 2010, 2011 and 2012 (based on the guaranteed minimum payments of the VISaer buyer as explained in Note 3) aggregates approximately $126,000 ($150,000 discounted); accordingly, the company has accrued $126,000 as a long-term liability in the consolidated financial statements. The total purchase price for the additional VISaer stock, consisting of the initial payment of $125,000 and the accrued liability for future payments of $126,000, was recorded as additional goodwill of VISaer at the time of the transaction and included in the calculation of the gain on sale for the VISaer transaction.

Income Taxes — Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 448 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. We have recognized tax benefits from all tax positions we have taken, and there has been no adjustment to any carry forwards (net operating loss or research and development credits) as a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2008, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits and we do not anticipate any significant changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
Our policy is to recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and related penalties, if applicable, in general and administrative expense. No interest expense or penalties were recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for all subsidiaries in which our ownership exceeds 80 percent, as well as individual subsidiary returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Through April 15, 2008, our VISaer subsidiary filed a separate U.S. federal income tax return. For periods after April 15, 2008, we will include VISaer in our consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. With few exceptions we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or foreign income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2003.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB No.157”) to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements of certain assets, liabilities and items in stockholders’ equity that are measured at fair value. FASB No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, we adopted FASB No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FASB No.159”). FASB No. 159, which builds on other statements related to fair value such as FASB No. 157 above, permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value with changes in value reported in earnings. It is designed to mitigate earnings volatility that arises when assets and liabilities are measured differently. FASB No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, we adopted FASB 159 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements relating to ISC. All statements, trend analyses and other information relative to markets for our products and trends in revenue, gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, and “intend”, and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties including those factors described below under “Factors That May Affect Future Performance”, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. ISC undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results.
For purposes of this discussion and analysis, we are assuming and relying upon the reader’s familiarity with the information contained in Item 6 Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
Our consolidated subsidiaries operate in two industry segments: Information Technology Products and Services (“Information Technology”) and Industrial Products. The Industrial Products segment includes ChemFree Corporation (bio-remediating parts washers). The Information Technology sector has consisted of VISaer, Inc. (software for maintenance, repair and overhaul operations in the commercial aviation industry) and CoreCard Software, Inc. (software for managing accounts receivables, credit and debit cards). As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we sold our VISaer business as of April 16, 2008. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reported in this Form 10-Q and the discussion below do not include the results of our VISaer subsidiary as part of continuing operations.
We derive our product revenue from sales of software licenses in our Information Technology sector and sales and leases of equipment and supplies in our Industrial Products sector. Our service revenue consists of fees for implementation, consulting, training, maintenance and support for software products in our Information Technology sector. Our consolidated revenue is the aggregate of the revenue generated at our subsidiary companies. Our revenue fluctuates from period to period and our results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. Period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful and it is difficult to predict the level of consolidated revenue on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, including the following:
   
A change in revenue level at one of our subsidiaries may impact consolidated revenue or be offset by an opposing change at another subsidiary.
 
   
Economic and marketplace trends may impact our subsidiaries differently or not at all and our software subsidiaries have limited experience in their marketplaces which makes it difficult to identify and evaluate trends that may impact their business.
 
   
CoreCard Software has been involved in major new product development initiatives for a number of years and has limited experience delivering and installing products at customer sites, making it difficult to predict with certainty when it may recognize revenue on individual software contracts.
 
   
Our subsidiaries are relatively small in revenue size and, in the Information Technology sector, revenue in a given period may consist of a relatively small number of contracts. Consequently, even small delays in a delivery under a software contract (which may be out of our control) could have a significant and unpredictable impact on consolidated revenue that we can recognize in a given quarterly or annual period.
Frequently we recognize consolidated operating losses on a quarterly and annual basis and are likely to do so in the future from time to time. Our operating expenses consist of the aggregate of our subsidiaries’ expenses and the corporate office expenses. Our ChemFree subsidiary generates an operating profit on a regular basis but our early stage subsidiary, CoreCard, is not consistently profitable, mainly due to significant research and development expense that is invested to complete new product offerings and the deferral of revenue recognition until such products are delivered to and accepted by customers. Depending upon the size and number of software licenses recognized in a particular period and the level of expenses incurred to support development and sales activities, CoreCard may report operating profits on an irregular basis as it builds its customer base. A significant portion of our subsidiaries’ expense is related to personnel which is relatively fixed in the short-term. For these and other reasons, our operating profits or losses may vary from quarter to quarter and at the present time are generally not predictable with any degree of certainty.

We also frequently generate income or incur losses from non-operating sources and we may do so from time to time in the future. We may derive income from sales of holdings in subsidiary, affiliate and other minority-owned companies, as exemplified in the VISaer sale, discussed in more detail in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Occasionally, we record a charge if we believe the value of a non-consolidated company is impaired. We also recognize on a quarterly basis our pro rata share of the income or losses of affiliate companies accounted for by the equity method. The timing and amount of gain or loss recognized as a result of a sale or the amount of equity in the income or losses of affiliates generally are not under our control and are not necessarily indicative of future results, either on a quarterly or annual basis.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report.
Revenue — Total revenue from continuing operations in the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $3.7 million, a 23 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2007. For the six month period ended June 30, 2008, total revenue from continuing operations was $7.8 million, an increase of 24 percent compared to the six month period in 2007.
   
Revenue from products, which includes sales of equipment in our Industrial Products segment as well as software license fees related to the Information Technology segment, was $3.4 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2008, a 33 percent increase compared to $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six month period ended June 30, 2008, revenue from products increased by 31 percent to $7.4 million compared to $5.7 million in the same period in 2007. Product revenue associated with the ChemFree products (our Industrial Products segment) grew by 41 percent and 69 percent, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007 and represented over 99 percent of product revenue in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008. ChemFree sales in the domestic market increased 41 percent and 74 percent in the three and six month periods of 2008 compared to the respective periods in 2007, principally due to increased volume of products sold to a single end-user customer that began purchasing ChemFree products in mid-2007. ChemFree also experienced an increase in revenue in international markets of 37 percent and 42 percent, respectively, in the three and six month periods of 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due mainly to an increase in quantity of goods sold in the European markets, offset in part by lower revenue levels at certain domestic US resellers. ChemFree does not expect the same period-to-period growth in the second half of 2008 as was reported in the first half of 2008. Software license revenue associated with the Information Technology segment was minimal in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to approximately $1.3 million in license revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2007, which reflected primarily a single software license contract recognized by our CoreCard Software subsidiary in the first quarter of 2007. The company recognizes software license revenue only upon completion of each contract and acceptance by customers. At June 30, 2008, CoreCard Software had approximately $1.8 million in deferred revenue associated with in-process customer contracts that it expects to recognize upon contract completion within the next six months or so.
 
   
Service revenue associated with the Information Technology segment decreased by 34 percent and 39 percent, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods last year. The change is attributed mainly to a decline in professional services billings for software services. More resources were involved in product development activities and in-process contracts rather than billable services in the first six months of 2008.
Cost of Revenue — Total cost of revenue was 57 percent of total revenue in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to 61 percent and 48 percent of total revenue in the comparable periods in 2007. The change is related principally to changes in the product mix from period to period.
   
Cost of product revenue was approximately the same, averaging 55 percent of product revenue, in the three and six month periods of 2008 compared to 58 percent and 45 percent of product revenue in the same periods in 2007. The principal reason for the difference in product cost as a percent of product revenue is that almost all of the product revenue in the first half of 2008 is from sales of ChemFree’s parts washers and consumables which have a higher cost of revenue than do software licenses. By comparison, in the first half of 2007, product revenue included $1.1 million in software licenses which have a low cost of revenue.
 
   
Cost of service revenue (which relates to the software subsidiaries only) was 72 percent and 105 percent of service revenue in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to 78 percent and 74 percent of service revenue in the respective periods in 2007. The change between periods reflects primarily the fact that costs associated with CoreCard’s customer support activities were significantly higher in the first three months of 2008 than in the same period in 2007. CoreCard is providing a high level of support to its initial customers to ensure it builds a solid base of reference customers and puts in place an infrastructure for future growth. Cost of services as a percentage of service revenue is expected to decrease as the installed base of CoreCard customers increases.

Operating Expenses — In the three month period ended June 30, 2008, total consolidated operating expenses were 42 percent higher than in the corresponding period in 2007. In the six month periods ended June 30, 2008, total consolidated operating expenses were 39 percent higher than in the same period in 2007. Consolidated marketing expenses grew 51 percent and 78 percent, respectively, in the three and six month periods in 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007, principally reflecting higher sales commission expense associated with the increase in ChemFree’s domestic sales in 2008 as well as an increase in CoreCard’s marketing personnel expense. Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased by 52 percent and 51 percent, respectively, in the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007. The increase is mainly due to higher legal expenses related to the patent matter described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements as well as increased payroll and bonus expense at the ChemFree subsidiary. Consolidated research and development expenses was higher by 24 percent and six percent, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007. The increase in the second quarter of 2008 is due principally to an increase in US employee payroll and consultant expenses at CoreCard, an increase in average wages for our Romania and India based employees in part due to relatively stronger local currencies compared to the US dollar, and a lower allocation of R&D expenses to specific in-process contracts in the second quarter of 2008 as compared with 2007.
Interest Income (Expense) — We recorded net interest expense of $4,000 and $9,000 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to $45,000 and $111,000 in net interest income in the respective periods in 2007. The difference between periods is due to greater interest expense related to higher bank borrowings in 2008, mainly during the first quarter of 2008 prior to the sale of the VISaer business.
Investment Income (Loss) — We did not have any investment income or loss in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008. We recorded investment income of $92,000 and $81,000 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 reflecting cash distributions related to previously owned investments in Horizon Software and Aderis Pharmaceuticals offset in part by a loss on the sale of a marketable security.
Equity Earnings of Affiliate Companies — On a quarterly basis, we recognize our pro rata share of the earnings or losses of affiliate companies that we record on the equity method. We recorded $27,000 and $53,000 in net equity income of one affiliate company in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to net equity income of $41,000 and $42,000 in the respective three and six month periods of 2007. The change between periods reflects changes in profitability of the affiliate company.
Income Taxes — We recorded $5,000 and $17,000 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 for income tax liability related to several miscellaneous state tax liabilities. We did not accrue for any income tax liability in the first half of 2008 and we believe our net deferred tax assets should be fully reserved at June 30, 2008 given their character and our historical losses.
Discontinued Operations
Net loss from Discontinued Operations — The amounts recorded in 2008 and 2007 reflect the operations of our VISaer subsidiary which has been classified as a discontinued operation as a result of the sale of the VISaer business as explained in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations — In the second quarter of 2008, we recorded a gain of $2,884,000 reflecting the sale of the VISaer business. In the six month period in 2007, we recorded an additional gain of $97,000 on the 2006 sale of our QS business as a result of the buyer confirming that no post-closing adjustments would be asserted.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance at June 30, 2008 was $1,162,000 compared to a cash balance of $554,000 at December 31, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our principal sources of cash were cash proceeds of $3,025,000 from the sale of the VISaer business, $1,225,000 representing payment in full of the earnout payments due from the buyer of our QS business in 2006 which had been earned in 2007 and recorded in the category “other current assets”, and bank borrowings aggregating $1.5 million, including $1.4 million under our line of credit and $122,000 under a term loan for ChemFree’s new accounting software system. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, we used proceeds from the VISaer sale to pay down the outstanding balance of $1.4 million on our line of credit and used approximately $1.7 million in the aggregate to support CoreCard Software and our international R&D operations. We also paid $125,000 to purchase additional common stock in VISaer as explained in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. Other changes in working capital included a decline of $112,000 in ChemFree inventory and a decrease of $565,000 in accounts payable, reflecting primarily payables assumed by the VISaer buyer as well as a lower volume of inventory purchases at ChemFree.

We currently project that we will have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, monthly payments on notes receivable, projected customer payments and working capital borrowings to support our current level of operations in the foreseeable future. We are also considering the possibility of raising additional funding in order to accelerate and support our CoreCard subsidiary’s new marketing initiatives, product development and rollout, and infrastructure investment, although it is too early to tell in what form or whether such funding would be available, if at all, on terms acceptable to the company. We renewed our $2.0 million line of credit on December 1, 2007 and will use it as necessary to support any short-term cash needs. We presently project that we will have sufficient accounts receivable and inventory balances throughout the year to support the borrowing base for any required draws under our bank line of credit; however, if we fail to do so, we could experience a short-term cash shortfall. Delays in meeting project milestones or software delivery commitments could cause customers to postpone payments and increase our need for cash during 2008. Presently, we do not believe there is a material risk to successfully performing under these contracts but if customer payments are delayed for any reason, if we do not control costs or if we encounter unforeseen technical or quality problems, then we could require more cash than planned. As a result, we may need to increase the use of our bank line of credit, scale back operations or seek alternative financing.
Beyond the next twelve months, we currently expect that liquidity will continue to improve and consolidated operations will generate sufficient cash to fund their requirements with use of our credit facility to accommodate short-term needs. Other long-term sources of liquidity include potential sales of investments, subsidiaries or other assets although the timing and amount of any such transactions are uncertain and, to the extent they involve non-consolidated companies, generally not within our control.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of acquired intangibles and impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of investments to be critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each. Management discusses its estimates and judgments with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. For a detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Reference is also made to the discussion of the application of these critical accounting policies and estimates contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2007. During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, there were no significant or material changes in the application of critical accounting policies that would require an update to the information provided in the Form 10-KSB for 2007.
Factors That May Affect Future Operations
Future operations in both the Information Technology and Industrial Products segments are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact our future results of operations or projected cash requirements. It is difficult to predict future quarterly and annual results with any certainty mainly because CoreCard is an early stage company with limited revenue and experience in its markets, is relatively small in size and, revenue tends to be associated with fewer and larger sales than in the Industrial Products segment. Thus any trend or delay that affects our subsidiary could have a negative impact on the company’s consolidated results of operations or cash requirements on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, the carrying value of our investments is impacted by a number of factors which are generally beyond our control since we are typically a non-control shareholder in a private company with limited liquidity.

 

Page 14


Table of Contents

Among the numerous factors that may affect our consolidated results of operations or financial condition are the following:
 
Delays in CoreCard’s software development projects could cause customers to delay implementations, delay payments or cancel contracts, which would increase our costs and reduce our revenue.
 
 
Our CoreCard subsidiary could fail to deliver software products which meet the business and technology requirements of its target markets within a reasonable time frame and at a price point that supports a profitable, sustainable business model.
 
 
One of ChemFree’s customers represented approximately 45 percent of consolidated revenue in the first six months of 2008; any unplanned changes in the volume of orders or timeliness of payments from such customer could have a negative impact on inventory levels and cash, at least in the near-term.
 
 
Failure by our ChemFree subsidiary to protect its intellectual property assets could increase competition in the marketplace and result in greater price pressure and lower margins, thus potentially impacting sales, profits and projected cash flows.
 
 
Software errors or poor quality control may delay product releases, increase our costs, result in non-acceptance of our software by customers or delay revenue recognition.
 
 
Compliance with the internal controls over financial reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could increase operating expenses and divert management and staff resources.
 
 
Competitive pressures (including pricing, changes in customer requirements and preferences, and competitor product offerings) may cause prospective customers to choose an alternative product solution, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses).
 
 
CoreCard could fail to establish a base of reference customers for its product offerings, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses) and increased cash needs.
 
 
In certain limited situations, ChemFree’s lease customers are permitted to terminate the lease covering a SmartWasher® machine, requiring the unamortized balance of the original machine cost to be written off which could reduce profits in that reporting period and result in lower revenue in future periods.
 
 
CoreCard could fail to retain key software developers and managers who have accumulated years of know-how in our target markets and company products, or fail to attract and train a sufficient number of new software developers and testers to support our product development plans and customer requirements at projected cost levels.
 
 
Further increases in the price of oil could increase the cost of certain plastic components used in ChemFree’s products.
 
 
Delays in anticipated customer payments for any reason would increase our cash requirements and possibly our losses.
 
 
Declines in performance, financial condition or valuation of minority-owned companies could cause us to write-down the carrying value of our investment or postpone an anticipated liquidity event, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash.
 
 
Failure to meet the continued listing standards of The American Stock Exchange could result in delisting of our common stock, with a potentially negative impact on market price and liquidity of our common stock.
 
 
Other general economic and political conditions could cause customers to delay or cancel software purchases.
We have certain lease commitments, legal matters and contingent liabilities described in detail in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2007 Form 10-KSB. Except as explained in Note 8 in this Form 10-Q, we are not aware presently of any facts or circumstances related to these that are likely to have a material negative impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s management, including the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
