PART I
Item 1.  Business

Business Overview

We provide IT solutions that are intended to deliver measurable results to small and medium sized businesses (SMBs), government agencies, and large commercial enterprises. We provide:
 
●  
Cloud computing;
●  
Managed services that include managing leading edge operations and implementing complex programs in advanced server management;
●  
Remote desktop and remote server monitoring and remediation;
●  
Help desk and call center services;
●  
Third party data storage;
●  
Cyber security services; and
●  
Project management.
 
We derived approximately 80% of our sales in 2014 and 90% in 2013 from federal, state and local government contracts as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor.

During 2014, we derived approximately 60% of our sales from one client, Hewlett-Packard Company, including sales under subcontracts for services to several of its end clients including a large enterprise Fortune 100 company and a major establishment of the U.S. Government (the “U.S. Government Entity”) for which we manage one of the nation’s largest Microsoft Windows environments.  We have been providing this service to the U.S. Government Entity under a long-standing subcontract, which has been renewed annually since 2004.  Our team of server experts supports approximately 3,000 servers and 250,000 client stations from facilities in Maryland and Colorado.  Operating 24 hours per day and seven days per week, we consistently meet or exceed the requirements of our service level agreements.  We refer to this as our Advanced Server Management (ASM) team.

We provide support to professional service organizations of software companies and commercial entities that need additional skilled resources when implementing solutions.  We provide cloud computing solutions that include public and private cloud architectures along with hybrid scalable cloud hosting, server virtualization and desktop virtualization solutions.  Our technical support personnel maintain leading edge certifications and qualifications in the respective software applications.  During 2014, we provided professional services to these clients from whom we derived approximately 35% of our sales during 2014.   Sales to our principal client, VMware, Inc., consisted of sales under subcontracts for services to their end clients of which approximately 70% are U.S. Government agencies and 30% are commercial entities.  Our experience with cloud and virtualization computing related software has placed us in a position to take advantage of a growing trend towards Managed IT Services, particularly in the SMB space.  We believe that the cloud and virtualization experience that we gained from working with large institutions and government agencies differentiates us from our competition, particularly within the SMB space. Accordingly, increasing our revenues from direct sales to SMBs is one of our priorities.

We focus on aligning business processes with technology for delivery of solutions meeting our clients’ needs and providing expert management services to the lifecycle of technology-based projects. For example, during 2014, we managed a bar code system implementation project for a manufacturing company that integrated production, inventory control and product delivery.  This required developing a hardware solution, modifying software code to integrate information reporting and to interface delivery with customer systems.   We also act as IT Director overseeing all aspects of IT on a daily basis including new systems development and implementation.

During 2014, we performed system characterizations and internal and external vulnerability network scans using third-party proprietary software known as UberScan.  In February 2015, we purchased all rights to the software from UberScan, LLC and hired a Director of CyberSecurity who has expertise in designing, developing, marketing, and selling network security assessment services using the UberScan software.  We provide technical and executive summary reports of ongoing risks, identify and prioritize security vulnerabilities and communicate remediation recommendations to end customers.  We plan to increase our CyberSecurity sales using our proprietary UberScan software by selling direct to end customers and through distributors.  We intend to invest in the upgrade of the feature sets in UberScan software to improve its future marketability.

We provide on and off-site client support to best meet our clients' needs.  We have several contract vehicles that enable us to deliver a broad range of our services and solutions as a prime contractor or subcontractor to the U.S., state and local governments and commercial customers.

Our professionals are located at our headquarters in Pittsford, New York and in Colorado, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.  We are able to provide onsite service to most locations around the world including military bases.

As of December 31, 2014, we had 83 full-time employees and information technology independent contractors.  Approximately 30% of our employees hold U.S. Government security clearances.

We had sales of approximately $8.6 million in 2014 and approximately $8.7 million in 2013.  We generated an operating loss of approximately $52,000 in 2014 as compared to operating income of approximately $441,000 in 2013.

We maintain an ISO 9001 certification which was renewed in 2014.  ISO, or the International Organization for Standardization, is an international-standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations which promulgates worldwide proprietary industrial and commercial standards.  We also possess certifications with our business and technology partners and our personnel maintain numerous certifications and qualifications.

We have experience in U.S. Government agencies, state government, Fortune 500 companies, and SMBs. We believe that the quality and consistency of our services and IT expertise has allowed us to maintain long-term relationships with our major clients.

Government Contract Vehicles

A government contract vehicle is a mechanism for conducting business with government entities which helps to significantly reduce such entities’ lead time for procuring products or services and lowers agency acquisition costs associated with managing complex bid procedures. Our strategy has been to bid for contract vehicles that facilitate Federal and State governments’ procurement requirements which allow us to compete further on task orders issued under the contract vehicles.  We believe that possessing contract vehicles will facilitate sales growth if we are successful at bidding and winning business within task orders generated under these vehicles.  However, the amount of sales that we may generate is not determinable until a specific project award is made.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Eagle II.  In September 2013, DHS made awards to prime contractors under its seven-year $22 billion Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions II (EAGLE II) program.  Contracts are Multiple Award, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) to provide information technology solutions through performance of a wide range of support services.  DHS issued the solicitation for EAGLE II in November 2010. We bid for work under EAGLE II with teaming members and are a specifically named small business partner with one of the prime contractor awardees.   This provides us with new opportunities to generate sales to DHS.  EAGLE II task orders are expected to be issued in future periods.

Federal Supply Schedule Contract. In 2003, we were awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for IT consulting services (Schedule 70).  Our Schedule 70 contract was extended through May 2019.  Having a Schedule 70 allows us to compete for and secure prime contracts with all executive agencies of the U.S. Government, as well as other national and international organizations.  Our Schedule 70 contract encompasses 95 different labor categories.  We have used the Schedule 70 as a basis for pricing our current and proposed work.

Certifications and Partner Agreements

VMware Authorized Consultant (VAC).  Since 2007, we have been approved as a VMware Authorized Consultant (VAC) by VMware, Inc. a subsidiary of EMC Corporation.  VMware is recognized as the industry leader in virtualization technology.  As a VAC, we are trained and certified to deliver consulting services and solutions leveraging VMware technology.  We are also certified as a VMware Enterprise VIP Reseller authorized to resell VMware’s full product line.  We are an Enterprise Partner with VMware with the Infrastructure Virtualization Competency.  We are also a Virtualization Management Lighthouse Partner which is a distinction earned by invitation only and requires passing select training courses specific to VMware Management solutions.  We are a member of the Consulting and Integration Partner Program (CIPP).  Members of the CIPP design, plan, integrate and deploy sophisticated virtual infrastructures to meet the demanding business needs of customers.  We are also registered with the U.S. Federal Specialization within VMware.  These certifications are examples of our concerted effort to grow and expand our virtualization practice.  We are actively working with a number of current and potential clients that utilize this expertise.  We believe our virtualization experience and expertise with VMware will continue to facilitate increases in sales, particularly in the Cloud computing market.
 
Microsoft Silver Certified Partner.   We are part of Microsoft's Accredited Online Cloud Services program.  We have successfully been certified in sales, pricing and technical delivery of Office 365 which combines the familiar Office desktop suite with cloud-based versions of the next-generation communications and collaboration services: Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Lync Online.  These services are already providing real world benefits to our existing clients while allowing us to offer clear guidelines for transitioning new users to hybrid-cloud-based solutions.  We have also received certification for Windows Intune which provides complete remote desktop support capabilities enhancing our overall goal of providing complete solutions for virtualization and cloud based Software as a Service (SaaS).  What once required expensive hardware and time consuming deployments can now be delivered seamlessly, including web conferencing, collaboration, document management, messaging, customer relationship management and productive office web applications all with lower total cost of ownership and quicker return on investment.  We believe our Microsoft competencies assist our business development personnel when presenting solutions that, if accepted, will increase our sales.

Hewlett Packard Supplier Based Consolidation Program (SBCP).  We have been accepted into the Hewlett Packard (HP) Supplier Based Consolidation Program (SBCP).  Under SBCP, we are a member of a select group of suppliers that are eligible to be awarded tasks by HP nationwide.  HP has many tools and resources to help us generate new sales streams, and improve our mutual profitability, while at the same time adding unique value for our joint clients.  The program comprises practical tools and services that we hope will help us in the key areas of marketing and selling our solutions, optimizing the technology, and collaborating with other organizations within our industry in order to generate more revenue.  The Master Services Agreement covering the SCBP runs to July 2015.

Competition

We compete with other IT professional services firms operating in the U.S. Government, state and local government and commercial marketplace.  We obtain a portion of our business on the basis of proposals submitted in response to requests from potential and current clients, who typically also receive proposals from other firms.

In the U.S. Government market, many of our proposed services are included with proposals of large prime contractors, where a specific area for our participation has been identified based on our expertise and experience.  Certain large prime contractors in the U.S. Government market are required to allocate a portion of their contract to small businesses and we are able to fill that role.  We also face indirect competition from certain government agencies that perform services for themselves similar to those we market.

We have entered into subcontracts with systems integrators holding multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts with various agencies of the U.S. Government.  In such cases, our competition is mainly with other IT services companies classified as small business entities by government standards.  For prime contracts with the U.S. Government, we anticipate that our competition will range from small business set aside contractors to full and open competition with large firms such as Northrop Grumman Information Technologies, Science Applications International Corp., Computer Sciences Corp., Unisys, IBM, Booz Allen Hamilton, SRA International, Inc. and Serco Services Inc.  We also have competition from cyber security providers who provide security vulnerability assessments and sell IT security software such as AlienVault, FireEye and Tenable.

Because of the diverse requirements of U.S. Government clients and the highly competitive nature of large procurements, corporations frequently form teams to pursue contract opportunities.  The same companies listed as competitors will often team with us or subcontract to us in the pursuit of new business.  We believe that the major competitive factors in our market are distinctive technical competencies, successful past contract performance, price of services, reputation for quality, and key management with domain expertise.

We face competition in the commercial markets from other IT service providers, large and small in all of the markets we target.

Our competitors, in general, have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, sales and marketing resources, facilities and experience than we do.

Employees

At December 31, 2014, we have 83 full-time employees and independent contractors, including 67 in information technology services, two in executive management, three in finance and administration, one in employee recruiting, and ten in marketing and sales.  We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.  We believe that we are currently staffed at an appropriate level to administratively implement and carry out our business plan for the next 12 months.  However, we expect to add positions in information technology services as we expand our sales.

Our ability to develop and market our services, and to establish and maintain a competitive position in our businesses will depend, in large part, upon our ability to attract and retain qualified technical, marketing and managerial personnel, of which there can be no assurance.

General Information

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 14, 1986. Our principal corporate headquarters are located at 80 Office Park Way, Pittsford, NY 14534.  Our business is in the field of IT services.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information provided in our reports, you should consider the following factors carefully in evaluating our business and us.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or that are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, such as competitive conditions, may also impair our business operations.  If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to our Industry

We depend on prime contracts or subcontracts with the U.S. Government for a substantial portion of our sales, and our business would be seriously harmed if the government ceased doing business with us or our prime contractors or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us or our prime contractors.

We derived approximately 80% of our sales in 2014 and 90% in 2013 from federal, state and local government contracts as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor.  We expect that we will continue to derive a substantial portion of our sales for the foreseeable future from work performed under government contracts, as we have in the past, and from marketing efforts focused on commercial enterprises.  If we or our prime contractors were suspended or prohibited from contracting with federal, state or local governments, or if our reputation or relationship with the federal, state or local governments and commercial enterprises were impaired, or if any of the foregoing otherwise ceased doing business with us or our prime contractors or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us or our prime contractors, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the U.S. Government.

Because we derive a significant portion of our sales from contracts with the U.S. Government, we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in U.S. Government contract programs.  Changes in U.S. Government budgetary priorities could directly affect our financial performance.  A significant decline in government expenditures, a shift of expenditures away from programs which call for the types of services that we provide or a change in U.S. Government contracting policies, could cause U.S. Governmental agencies to reduce their expenditures under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty, not to exercise options to renew contracts or to delay or not enter into new contracts.  Any of those actions could seriously harm our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.  Moreover, although our contracts with governmental agencies often contemplate that our services will be performed over a period of several years, Congress usually must approve funds for a given program each government fiscal year and may significantly reduce or eliminate funding for a program. Significant reductions in these appropriations by Congress could have a material adverse effect on our business. Additional factors that could have a serious adverse effect on our U.S. Government contracting business include, but may not be limited to:
 
 
7

 
 
●  
changes in U.S. Government programs or requirements;
●  
budgetary priorities limiting or delaying U.S. Government spending generally, or by specific departments or agencies in particular, and changes in fiscal policies or available funding, including potential governmental shutdowns;
●  
reductions in the U.S. Government's use of technology solutions firms;
●  
a decrease in the number of contracts reserved for small businesses, or small business set asides, which could result in our inability to compete directly for these prime contracts; and
●  
curtailment of the U.S. Government’s use of IT or related professional services.

The Office of Management and Budget process for ensuring government agencies properly support capital planning initiatives, including information technology investments, could reduce or delay federal information technology spending and cause us to lose revenue.

The Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, supervises spending by federal agencies, including enforcement of the Government Performance Results Act.  This Act requires, among other things, that federal agencies make an adequate business justification to support capital planning initiatives, including all information technology investments. The factors considered by the OMB include, among others, whether the proposed information technology investment is expected to achieve an appropriate return on investment, whether related processes are contemporaneously reviewed, whether inter-operability with existing systems and the capacity for these systems to share data across government has been considered, and whether existing off-the-shelf products are being utilized to the extent possible.  If our clients do not adequately justify proposed information technology investments to the OMB, the OMB may refuse funding for their new or continuing information technology investments, and we may lose revenue as a result.

Our contracts with the U.S. Government may be terminated or adversely modified prior to completion, which could adversely affect our business.

U.S. Government contracts generally contain provisions, and are subject to laws and regulations, that give the U.S. Government rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts, including provisions permitting the U.S. Government to:

●  
terminate our existing contracts;
●  
reduce potential future revenues from our existing contracts;
●  
modify some of the terms and conditions in our existing contracts;
●  
suspend or permanently prohibit us from doing business with the U.S. Government or with any specific government agency;
●  
impose fines and penalties;
●  
subject us to criminal prosecution;
●  
subject the award of some contracts to protest or challenge by competitors, which may require the contracting U.S. agency or department to suspend our performance pending the outcome of the protest or challenge and which may also require the government to solicit new bids for the contract or result in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract;
●  
suspend work under existing multiple year contracts and related task orders if the necessary funds are not appropriated by Congress;
●  
decline to exercise an option to extend an existing multiple year contract; and
●  
claim rights in technologies and systems invented, developed or produced by us.

The U.S. Government may terminate a contract with us either "for convenience" (for instance, due to a change in its perceived needs or its desire to consolidate work under another contract) or if we default by failing to perform under the contract.  If the U.S. Government terminates a contract with us for convenience, we generally would be entitled to recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on the work completed prior to termination.  If the U.S. Government terminates a contract with us based upon our default, we generally would be denied any recovery for undelivered work, and instead may be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from an alternative source. We may in the future receive show-cause or cure notices under contracts that, if not addressed to the U.S. Government's satisfaction, could give the government the right to terminate those contracts for default or to cease procuring our services under those contracts.

Our U.S. Government contracts typically have terms of one or more base years and one or more option years. Many of the option periods cover more than half of the contract's potential term.  U.S. Governmental agencies generally have the right not to exercise options to extend a contract.  A decision to terminate or not to exercise options to extend our existing contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain of our U.S. Government contracts also contain "organizational conflict of interest" clauses that could limit our ability to compete for certain related follow-on contracts.  For example, when we work on the design of a particular solution, we may be precluded from competing for the contract to install that solution.  While we actively monitor our contracts to avoid these conflicts, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid all organizational conflict of interest issues.

In addition, U.S. Government contracts are frequently awarded only after formal competitive bidding processes, which have been and may continue to be protracted, and typically impose provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds are unavailable to the public agency.

The competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:

●  
we expend substantial funds, managerial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that we may not win;
●  
we may be unable to estimate accurately the resources and cost that will be required to service any contract we win, which could result in substantial cost overruns; and
●  
we may encounter expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or challenge could result in a requirement to resubmit bids on modified specifications or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract.

Unfavorable government audits could require us to refund payments we have received, to forgo anticipated sales and could subject us to penalties and sanctions.

The government agencies we work for generally have the authority to audit and review our contracts with them and/or our subcontracts with prime contractors.  As part of that process, the government agency reviews our performance on the contract, our pricing practices, our cost structure and our compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards.  If the audit agency determines that we have improperly received payment or reimbursement, we would be required to refund any such amount.  If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities by us, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or disqualification from doing business with the government.  Any such unfavorable determination could adversely impact our ability to bid for new work which would have a negative impact on our business.

The failure by Congress to approve budgets on a timely basis for the U.S. Government agencies we support could delay procurement of our services and solutions and cause us to lose future revenues.

On an annual basis, Congress must approve budgets that govern spending by the U.S. Government agencies that we support.  In years when Congress is not able to complete its budget process before the end of the U.S. Government’s fiscal year, on September 30, Congress typically funds government operations pursuant to a continuing resolution.  A continuing resolution allows U.S. Government agencies to operate at spending levels approved in the previous budget cycle.  When the U.S. Government operates under a continuing resolution, it may delay funding we expect to receive from clients on work we are already performing and will likely result in new initiatives being delayed or in some cases cancelled.

Our gross margin from our contracts will suffer if we are not able to maintain our pricing and utilization rates and control our costs.

Our gross profit margin is largely a function of the rates we charge for our IT Services and the utilization rate, or chargeability, of our employees.  Accordingly, if we are not able to maintain the rates we charge for our services or an appropriate utilization rate for our employees, we will not be able to sustain our gross profit margin and earn a sufficient amount to fund our operating expenses.  The rates we charge for our IT Services are affected by a number of factors, including:

●  
our clients' perception of our ability to add value through our services;
●  
competition;
●  
introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors;
●  
pricing policies of our competitors; and
●  
general economic conditions.

Our utilization rates are also affected by a number of factors, including:

●  
seasonal trends, primarily as a result of holidays, vacations, and slowdowns by our clients, which may have a more significant effect in the fourth quarter;
●  
our ability to transition employees from completed engagements to new engagements;
●  
our ability to forecast demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriately balanced and sized workforce; and
●  
our ability to manage employee turnover.

We have implemented cost-management programs to manage our costs, including personnel costs, support and other overhead costs.  Some of our costs, like office rents, are fixed in the short term, which limits our ability to reduce costs in periods of declining sales.  Our current and future cost-management initiatives may not be sufficient to maintain our margins as our level of sales varies.

If we fail to meet our contractual obligations to our clients, our ability to compete for future work and our financial condition may be adversely affected.

If we fail to meet our contractual obligations, we could be subject to legal liability, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.  The provisions we typically include in our contracts which are designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our services may not protect us or may not be enforceable under some circumstances or under the laws of some jurisdictions.  It is possible, because of the nature of our business, that we may be exposed to legal claims in the future.  We have errors and omissions insurance with coverage limits of $1 million, subject to a $100,000 deductible payable by us.  The policy limits may not be adequate to provide protection against all potential liabilities.  As a consulting firm, we depend to a large extent on our relationships with our clients and our reputation for high-quality services to retain and attract clients and employees.  As a result, claims made against us may damage our reputation, which in turn, could impact our ability to compete for new business.

The IT services industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

We operate in a highly competitive industry that includes a large number of participants.  We believe that we currently compete principally with other IT professional services firms, technology vendors and the internal information systems groups of our clients.  Many of the companies that provide services in our markets have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.  Our marketplace continues to experience rapid changes in its competitive landscape.  Some of our competitors have sought access to public and private capital and others have merged or consolidated with better-capitalized partners.  These changes may create more or larger and better-capitalized competitors with enhanced abilities to compete for market share generally and our clients specifically, in some cases, through significant economic incentives to clients to secure contracts.  These competitors may also be better able to compete for skilled professionals by offering them large compensation incentives.  One or more of our competitors may develop and implement methodologies that result in superior productivity and price reductions without adversely affecting the competitors' profit margins.  In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry into our markets and we have faced, and expect to continue to face, competition from new entrants into our markets.  As a result, we may be unable to continue to compete successfully with our existing or any new competitors.

We may lose money on some contracts if we do not accurately estimate the expenses, time and resources necessary to satisfy our contractual obligations.
 
We enter into two types of U.S. Government contracts for our services: time-and-materials and fixed-price.  Each of these types of contracts, to varying degrees, involves some risk that we could underestimate our cost of fulfilling the contract, which may reduce the profit we earn or lead to a financial loss on the contract.
 
Under time and materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for certain expenses.  We assume financial risk on time and material contracts because we assume the risk of performing those contracts at negotiated hourly rates.
 
Under fixed-price contracts, we perform specific tasks for a fixed price.  Compared to cost-plus contracts, fixed price contracts generally offer higher margin opportunities, but involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of cost overruns and bear the risk of underestimating the level of effort required to perform the contractual obligations, which could result in increased costs and expenses.
 
Our profits could be adversely affected if our costs under any of these contracts exceed the assumptions we used in bidding for the contract.

If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with government entities and agencies, our ability to successfully bid for new business may be adversely affected.

To develop new business opportunities, we rely on establishing and maintaining relationships with various government entities and agencies.  We may be unable to successfully maintain our relationships with government entities and agencies, and any failure to do so could materially adversely affect our ability to compete successfully for new business.

Our business may suffer if our facilities or our employees are unable to obtain or retain the security clearances or other qualifications needed to perform services for our clients.

Many of our U.S. Government contracts require employees and facilities used in specific engagements to hold security clearances and to clear National Agency Checks and Defense Security Service checks.  Some of our contracts require us to employ personnel with specified levels of education, work experience and security clearances.  Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If our employees or our facilities lose or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances or successfully clear necessary National Agency or Defense Security Service checks, we may not be able to win new business and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them, and in each instance our operating results could be materially adversely affected.

We must comply with a variety of laws, regulations and procedures and our failure to comply could harm our operating results.

We must observe laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts which affect how we do business with our clients and impose added costs on our business. For example, the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the industrial security regulations of the Department of Defense and related laws include provisions that:
 
 
11

 
 
●  
allow our U.S. Government clients to terminate or not renew our contracts if we come under foreign ownership, control or influence;
●  
require us to disclose and certify cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations;
●  
require us to prevent unauthorized access to classified information; and
●  
require us to comply with laws and regulations intended to promote various social or economic goals.

We are subject to industrial security regulations of the U.S. Government agencies that are designed to safeguard against foreigners' access to classified information.  If we were to come under foreign ownership, control or influence, we could lose our facility security clearance, which could result in our U.S. Government clients terminating or deciding not to renew our contracts, and could impair our ability to obtain new contracts.

In addition, our employees often must comply with procedures required by the specific agency for which work is being performed, such as time recordation or prohibition on removal of materials from a location.

Our failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or procedures, including U.S. Government procurement regulations and regulations regarding the protection of classified information, could result in contract termination, loss of security clearances, suspension or prohibition from contracting with the U.S. Government, civil fines and damages and criminal prosecution and penalties, any of which could materially adversely affect our business.

The U.S. Government may revise its procurement or other practices in a manner adverse to us.

The U.S. Government may revise its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, such as cost accounting standards. It could also adopt new contracting methods relating to GSA contracts, government-wide contracts, or adopt new standards for contract awards intended to achieve certain social or other policy objectives, such as establishing new set-aside programs for small or minority-owned businesses.  In addition, the U.S. Government may face restrictions from new legislation or regulations, as well as pressure from government employees and their unions, on the nature and amount of services the U.S. Government may obtain from private contractors.  These changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or contracts under which we currently perform when those contracts are put up for re-competition bid.  Any new contracting methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement, and, as a result, could harm our operating results. For example, the Truthfulness, Responsibility and Accountability in Contracting Act, proposed in 2001, would have limited and severely delayed the U.S. Government's ability to use private service contractors.  Although this proposal was not enacted, it or similar legislation could be proposed at any time.  Any reduction in the U.S. Government's use of private contractors to provide federal information technology services could materially adversely impact our business.

Failure to maintain strong relationships with government contractors could result in a decline in our sales.

We derived approximately 80% of our sales in 2014 from contracts under which we acted as a subcontractor.  Our subcontracts with prime contractors contain many of the same provisions as the prime contracts and therefore carry many of the same risks previously identified in these Risk Factors.  As a subcontractor, we often lack control over fulfillment of a contract, and poor performance on the contract by others could tarnish our reputation, even when we perform as required.  We expect to continue to depend on relationships with other contractors for a significant portion of our sales in the foreseeable future.  Moreover, our sales and operating results could be materially adversely affected if any prime contractor chooses to offer services of the type that we provide or if any prime contractor teams with other companies to independently provide those services.

Risks Related to our Business and Financial Condition

We are highly leveraged, which increases our operating deficit and makes it difficult for us to grow.

At December 31, 2014, we had current liabilities, including trade payables, of approximately $1.4 million and long-term liabilities of $2.2 million.  We had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.0 million and a current ratio of .28.  If we experience working capital shortages that impair our business operations and growth strategy, our business, operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
 
We have been dependent on a limited number of high net worth individuals to fund our working capital needs.

From 2003 through 2014 we received approximately $3.4 million in a combination of equity, debt conversion and debt transactions from a limited number of high net worth investors.  We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to continue to raise additional capital from this group of investors, or that we will be able to secure funding from additional sources.

At December 31, 2014, we have current notes payable of $129,000 to related parties, $30,000 to a third party, and current maturities of long-term obligations of $22,560.  We have convertible notes payable of $473,000 due to related parties and $325,000 due to third parties all of which mature on January 1, 2016.  We have maturities of our long-term notes to third parties of $765,214 in 2017 and $490,000 in 2018.  We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain extensions of maturity dates for long-term notes payable when they mature or that we will be able to repay or otherwise refinance the notes at their scheduled maturities.

We may require additional financing in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms.

We may require additional funds for working capital and general corporate purposes.  We cannot provide assurance that adequate additional financing will be available or, if available, will be offered on acceptable terms.

Moreover, our IT services billings generate accounts receivable that are generally paid within 30 to 60 days from the invoice date.  The cost of those sales generally consists of employee salaries and benefits that we must pay prior to our receipt of the accounts receivable to which these costs relate.  We therefore need sufficient cash resources to cover such employee-related costs which, in many cases, require us to borrow funds at costly terms.

We have secured an accounts receivable financing line of credit from an independent finance organization institution that allows us to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution with full recourse against us in the amount of $2 million, including a sublimit for one major client of $1.5 million.  This provides us with the cash needed to finance certain costs and expenses.  At December 31, 2014, we had financing availability, based on eligible accounts receivable, of approximately $140,000 under this line.  We pay fees based on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid.  As we grow, additional working capital may be required to support this difference in the timing of cash receipts versus payroll disbursements.  Moreover, our accounts receivable financing lender may decide to cease subsequent advances at any time in its discretion, upon our failure to meet certain contractual requirements or upon the occurrence of certain events or contingencies that are out of our control.  In such event, our short-term cash requirements would exceed available cash on hand resulting in material adverse consequences to our business.

Finally, any additional equity financing and conversions by the holders of existing notes payable to common stock will be dilutive to stockholders.  Debt financings, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that further limit our ability to make decisions that we believe will be in our best interests.  In the event we cannot obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us when required, our operations will be materially adversely affected and we may have to cease or substantially reduce operations.

 
13

 

Recent events affecting the credit markets may restrict our ability to access additional financing.

Over the last several years, the U.S. and worldwide capital and credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably.  These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in some cases have resulted in the unavailability of financing.  Continued uncertainty in the capital and credit markets may negatively impact our business, including our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our ability to fund current operations or expand our business.  A prolonged downturn in the financial markets may cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and may require us to adjust our business plan accordingly.  These events also may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of our equity securities.  Disruptions in the financial markets may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock and other adverse effects on our business.

If we acquire businesses or business assets and do not successfully integrate the acquisitions, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may grow our business by acquiring or investing in companies and businesses and assets that we feel have synergy and will complement our business plan.  As such, we periodically evaluate potential business combinations and investments in other companies and assets.  We may be unable to profitably manage businesses and assets that we may acquire or invest in.  We may fail to integrate these businesses and assets successfully without incurring substantial expenses, delays or other problems that could negatively impact our results of operations.

If we fail to pay the balance of the purchase price for our UberScan software when due, our cyber security business would be materially adversely affected.

We paid $80,000 of the purchase price for the UberScan software in the form of a secured promissory note due on April 7, 2015.  As security for our obligations under the note, we granted the seller a lien on the UberScan software.  If we do not pay the note when due (after all applicable grace periods), the seller will have all the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to take possession of the UberScan software and to sell it in order to satisfy our obligations under the note.  Additionally, in connection with our purchase of the UberScan software, we granted an affiliate of the seller a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to continue to use the UberScan software to service its existing commercial customers in the same manner as it had serviced them prior to the sale.  Our license agreement with that affiliate of the seller provides that in the event of a default under the promissory note (after all applicable grace periods), all restrictions on the license granted to the affiliate will lapse and the affiliate will be entitled to use the UberScan software for any purpose.  If we fail to pay the promissory note when due (after all applicable grace periods) and the seller takes possession of the UberScan software we would lose all rights to it.  If the affiliate of the seller is able to use the UberScan software without restriction, the value to us of the UberScan software would be materially diminished.  In either case, our cyber security business would be materially adversely affected.

Our investments in cyber security and other business initiatives may not be successful.

We are investing in cyber security capabilities to add new products and services to address the needs of our clients. Our investments may not be successful or increase our revenues.  If we are not successful in creating value from our investments by increasing sales, our financial condition and prospects could be harmed.

If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock price.

Our management believes that in order to be successful we must appropriately manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods, and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion.  In addition, we will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant reductions or growth effectively.

 
14

 
 
We may have difficulties in managing our growth.

Our future growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand, train and manage our employee base and provide support to an expanded client base.  If we cannot manage growth effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business and financial condition.  In addition, acquisitions, investments and expansion involve substantial infrastructure costs and working capital.  We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to integrate acquisitions, if any, and expansions efficiently.  Similarly, we cannot provide assurance that any investments or expansion will enhance our profitability.  This includes our investments in cyber security initiatives.  If we do not achieve sufficient sales growth to offset increased expenses associated with our expansion, our results will be adversely affected.

We depend on the continued services of our key personnel.

Our future success depends, in part, on the continuing efforts of our senior executive officers. The loss of any of these key employees may materially adversely affect our business.

Our future success depends on our ability to continue to retain and attract qualified employees.

We believe that our future success depends upon our ability to continue to train, retain, effectively manage and attract highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel.  This includes skills for our new initiatives in cyber security.  Employee turnover is generally high in the IT services industry.  If our efforts in these areas are not successful, our costs may increase, our sales efforts may be hindered, and the quality of our client service may suffer.  Although we invest significant resources in recruiting and retaining employees, there is often significant competition for certain personnel in the IT services industry.  From time to time, we experience difficulties in locating enough highly qualified candidates in desired geographic locations, or with required specific expertise.
 
We may lose revenue and our cash flow and profitability could be negatively affected if expenditures are incurred prior to final receipt of a contract or contract funding modification.
 
We provide professional services and sometimes procure materials on behalf of our clients under various contract arrangements.  From time to time, in order to ensure that we satisfy our clients’ delivery requirements and schedules, we may elect, based on verbal authorization, to initiate procurements or provide services in advance of receiving formal written contractual authorization from the government client or a prime contractor. If our government or prime contractor requirements should change or the government directs the anticipated procurement to a contractor other than us, or if the materials become obsolete or require modification before we are under contract for the procurement, our investment might be at risk. If we do not receive the required funding, our cost of services incurred in excess of contractual funding may not be recoverable. This could reduce anticipated revenue or result in a loss, negatively affecting our cash flow and profitability.

Our employees or subcontractors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, which could cause us to lose contracts.

While we have ethics and compliance programs in place, we are exposed to the risk that employee fraud or other misconduct could occur.  We enter into arrangements with prime contractors and joint venture partners to bid on and execute particular contracts or programs.  As a result, we are exposed to the risk that fraud or other misconduct or improper activities by such persons may occur.  Misconduct by employees, prime contractors or joint venture partners could include intentional failures to comply with federal laws, including U.S. Government procurement regulations, proper handling of sensitive or classified information, compliance with the terms of our contracts that we receive, and falsifying time records or failures to disclose unauthorized or unsuccessful activities to us.  These actions could lead to civil, criminal, and/or administrative penalties (including fines, imprisonment, suspension and/or bars from performing U.S. Government contracts) and harm our reputation.  The precautions we take to prevent and detect such activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, and such misconduct by employees, prime contractors or joint venture partners could result in serious civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or harm to our reputation, which could cause us to lose contracts or cause a reduction in revenue.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Certain stockholders own a significant portion of our stock and may delay or prevent a change in control or adversely affect the stock price through sales in the open market.

As of March 23, 2015, one individual and three related parties or their affiliates owned approximately 8.9%, 3.8%, 2.3%, and 2.3%, respectively, (17.3% in the aggregate) of our outstanding common stock (excluding stock options, warrants and convertible notes).

Two related parties that hold convertible notes payable have the right to convert notes payable and accrued interest into shares of common stock at $.05 per share.  Another related party has the right to convert a note payable at $.16 per share.  If these parties converted all of the principal and accrued interest into common stock, these three individuals would own approximately 26.0%, 12.1% and 2.4%, respectively, (40.6% in the aggregate of our then outstanding common stock, excluding stock options and warrants).   However, such notes may not be converted if such conversion would result in a change in control which would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards.  We estimate as of the date of this report that substantially all convertible notes payable and accrued interest due to all related parties could be converted to shares of common stock, without affecting a change of control that would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards.

The concentration of large percentages of ownership by a single stockholder or a few stockholders may delay or prevent a change in control.  Additionally, the sale of a significant number of our shares in the open market by a single stockholder or otherwise could adversely affect our stock price.

The price of our common stock may be adversely affected by the possible issuance of shares to third parties as a result of the conversion of outstanding notes.

We have various convertible notes outstanding to third parties that are convertible into shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.05 to $.25 per share.  If all of these notes were converted into common stock, the holders would receive 4,700,000 shares of our common stock or approximately 15.0% of our then outstanding common stock.

The conversion or exercise of convertible notes payable and the subsequent sale, or potential sale, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could adversely impact the market price of our stock.

Our stock price is volatile and could be further affected by events not within our control.

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and will continue to be subject to volatility in the trading markets and other factors.

During 2014, the market price for our common stock varied between a low of $.03 in August 2014 and a high of $.12 in January 2014.  This volatility may affect the price at which a stockholder could sell its shares of common stock, and the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect the price of our common stock.  Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, including variations in our quarterly operating results and announcement by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over The Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board.  Because there is a limited public market for our common stock, a stockholder may not be able to sell shares when he or she wants.  We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will ever develop.

There is limited trading in our common stock and we cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will ever develop.  The lack of an active public trading market means that a stockholder may not be able to sell shares of common stock when wanted, thereby increasing market risk.   Until our common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that the shares will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  However, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations regarding the common stock’s market value.  In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the shares liquidity.  Moreover our ability to obtain future financing may be adversely affected by the consequences of our common stock trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to buy or sell.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions.  The market price of our common stock is currently below $5.00 per share and therefore may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules.  This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities.  These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares.

This report also identifies important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” of this report.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Business Overview

We provide IT solutions that are intended to deliver measurable results to small and medium sized businesses (SMBs), government agencies, and large commercial enterprises.  We provide:
 
●  
Cloud computing;
●  
Managed services that include managing leading edge operations and implementing complex programs in advanced server management and providing 24/7 security software solutions to commercial customers;
●  
Remote desktop and remote server monitoring and remediation;
●  
Help desk and call center services;
●  
Third party data storage;
●  
Cyber security services; and
●  
Project management.

We derived approximately 80% of our sales in 2014 and 90% in 2013 from federal, state and local government contracts as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor.

During 2014, we derived approximately 60% of our sales from one client, Hewlett-Packard Company, including sales under subcontracts for services to several of its end clients including a large enterprise Fortune 100 company and a major establishment of the U.S. Government (the “U.S. Government Entity”) for which we manage one of the nation’s largest Microsoft Windows environments.  We have been providing this service to the U.S. Government Entity under a long-standing subcontract, which has been renewed annually since 2004.  Our team of server experts supports approximately 3,000 servers and 250,000 client stations from facilities in Maryland and Colorado.  Operating 24 hours per day and seven days per week, we consistently meet or exceed the requirements of our service level agreements.  We refer to this as our Advanced Server Management (ASM) team.

We provide support to professional service organizations of software companies that need additional skilled resources when implementing solutions. Our technical support personnel maintain leading edge certifications and qualifications in the respective software applications. During 2014, we provided professional services to clients from whom we derived approximately 35% of our sales during 2014.   Sales to our principal client, VMware, Inc., consisted of sales under subcontracts for services to their end clients of which approximately 70% are U.S. Government agencies and 30% are commercial entities.  Our experience with cloud and virtualization computing related software has placed us in a position to take advantage of a growing trend towards Managed IT Services, particularly in the SMB space.  We believe that the cloud and virtualization experience that we gained from working with large institutions and government agencies differentiates us from our competition, particularly within the SMB space. Accordingly, increasing our revenues from direct sales to SMBs is one of our priorities.

We focus on aligning business processes with technology for delivery of solutions meeting our clients’ needs and providing expert management services to the lifecycle of technology-based projects. For example, during 2014, we managed a bar code system implementation project for a manufacturing company that integrated production, inventory control and product delivery.  This required developing a hardware solution, modifying software code to integrate information reporting and to interface delivery with customer systems.   We also act as IT Director overseeing all aspects of IT on a daily basis including new systems development and implementation.

During 2014, under a subcontract agreement with UberScan, LLC, we performed system characterizations and internal and external vulnerability network scans using third-party proprietary software known as UberScan.  In February 2015, we purchased all rights to the software from UberScan, LLC and hired a Director of CyberSecurity who has expertise in designing, developing, marketing, and selling network security assessment services using the UberScan software.  We provide technical and executive summary reports of ongoing risks, identify and prioritize security vulnerabilities and communicate remediation recommendations to end customers.  We plan to increase our CyberSecurity sales using our proprietary UberScan software by selling direct to end customers and through distributors.  We intend to invest in the upgrade of the feature sets in UberScan software to improve its future marketability.

We provide on and off-site client support to best meet our clients' needs.  We have several contract vehicles that enable us to deliver a broad range of our services and solutions as a prime contractor or subcontractor to the U.S., state and local governments and commercial customers.

Our professionals are located at our headquarters in Pittsford, New York and in Colorado, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.  We are able to provide onsite service to most locations around the world including military bases.

As of December 31, 2014, we had 83 full-time employees and information technology independent contractors.  Approximately 30% of our employees hold U.S. Government security clearances.

We had sales of approximately $8.6 million in 2014 and approximately $8.7 million in 2013.  We generated an operating loss of approximately $52,000 in 2014 as compared to operating income of approximately $441,000 in 2013.

We maintain an ISO 9001 certification which was renewed in 2014.  ISO, or the International Organization for Standardization, is an international-standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations which promulgates worldwide proprietary industrial and commercial standards.  We also possess certifications with our business and technology partners and our personnel maintain numerous certifications and qualifications.

We have experience in U.S. Government agencies, state government, Fortune 500 companies, and SMBs. The quality and consistency of our services and IT expertise allow us to maintain long-term relationships with our major clients.

One of our strategies has been to bid for contract vehicles that facilitate Federal and state governments’ procurement requirements. There is uncertainty in the process that leads to an award which includes the possibility that no award is ever made.  A win on one of these procurements will allow us to compete further on task orders issued under the contract vehicle. In the past we have been awarded or we have become a subcontractor on certain contract vehicles which permit us to bid on new projects (task orders) and/or be included within bids of prime contractors.  We continue to pursue the capture of business by remaining active in the bidding process.

Although we believe we have opportunities for sales growth with government and commercial clients, the lengthy and uncertain procurement processes may cause our sales to grow slowly and result in inconsistent operating income or in operating losses until our sales are at a level sufficient to support our operations.  We understand that the U.S. Government has expressed its intention to reduce its budgets related to technical services contracts in the coming years, which may impact our ability to increase our sales to certain U.S. Government agencies.  As a business development strategy, we jointly bid with prime contractors on large government wide procurements.  If an award is made and our team wins we expect to be allocated a portion of sales to a U.S. Government agency under the small business requirement.

In the future, we may issue additional debt or equity securities to satisfy our cash needs.  Any debt incurred or issued may be secured or unsecured, at a fixed or variable interest rate and may contain other terms and conditions that our Board deems prudent.  Any sales of equity securities may be at or below current market prices.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in generating sufficient capital to adequately fund our working capital needs.

Sales

Sales for 2014 were $8,567,736 a decrease of $144,881 or 1.7% as compared to sales for 2013 of $8,712,617. Sales of virtualization projects improved starting in the second quarter of 2013 but slowed in the first quarter of 2014 in comparison to the virtualization project sales for each calendar quarter during the nine months ended December 31, 2013.  We believe that the decrease during the first quarter of 2014 was mainly attributable to a temporary reduction in the demand for virtualization projects.  Sales also declined in the first quarter of 2014 as a long-term commercial project neared completion.  Beginning in March 2014 and extending through December 31, 2014, we began to service new virtualization contract customers during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014.  We also expect future sales from security assessments and related projects, which originated from sales programs that we established in the fourth quarter of 2013.

One of our priorities is to increase sales.  Accordingly, beginning in December 2013, we hired several additional sales personnel in an effort to increase commercial and U.S. Government agency sales.  Due to the lengthy lead times typically needed to generate new sales in these areas, we do not expect to realize a return from the addition of the new sales personnel for multiple quarters.  As a result, we may experience net losses from these investments in personnel until sufficient sales are generated.  We expect to fund the cost for the new sales personnel from our operating cash flows and incremental borrowings, as needed.

Sales improved from $2,014,417 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $ 2,127,571 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $2,313,235 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.   Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $2,112,514 a decrease of $155,525 from $2,268,039 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. We realized sales decreases of approximately $75,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2014 due to a lower rate when our principal contract with Hewlett-Packard Company was renewed for its twelfth consecutive year.  We expect this rate reduction to continue through at least the next contract renewal date.  We continue to pursue opportunities to develop additional sales from new and existing target markets by investing additional marketing resources in the commercial/non-government segment of our business.

We have several contract vehicles that enable us to deliver a broad range of our services and solutions to the U.S. Government and commercial clients.   Contract vehicles allow us additional opportunities to bid on new projects.  We have formed alliances with large systems integrators, who are mandated by federal policy to direct defined percentages of their work to companies like ours which are small business subcontractors.  We have completed proposals with major prime contractors to the U.S. Government.

In September 2013, the Department of Homeland Security Eagle II (DHS) awarded contracts to prime contractors.  We are a subcontractor and teaming member with certain of these prime contractors and accordingly, we believe that we will have new opportunities to generate sales to DHS. 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales represents the cost of employee services and expenses related to our sales.   Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $6,386,182 or 74.5% of sales, an increase of $2,204 as compared to $6,383,978 or 73.3% of sales for 2013.  Gross profit was $2,181,554 for 2014, a decrease of $147,085 or 6.3% as compared to $2,328,639 for 2013.  Gross profit was affected by sales decreases of approximately $75,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2014 due to a lower rate when our principal contract with Hewlett-Packard Company was renewed for its twelfth consecutive year.  On an annual basis, this reduces our gross profit margin by approximately 3.5%.  We also experienced a decrease in utilization of our IT engineers principally during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include corporate overhead such as compensation and benefits for administrative and finance personnel, rent, insurance, professional fees, travel, and office expenses.  General and administrative expenses for 2014 were $1,302,329, an increase of $279,973 or 27.4% as compared to $1,022,356 for 2013.   As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense was 15.2% for 2014 and 11.7% for 2013.

The increase of $279,973 in general and administrative expenses for 2014 was principally a result of an increase of $44,259 in stock options expense from grants made in 2014, increases in professional fees and expenses of approximately $68,000 associated with implementing a new shareholder investor relations and communications program, the addition of an employee in May 2013 to manage the expansion of our Commercial Division within the small and medium sized businesses (SMB) space and the addition of an executive officer in October 2014 responsible for working with other key executives to develop and implement our strategic direction and marketing plans and improve performance through collaboration between sales and service delivery functions.

        Selling Expenses

In 2014, we incurred selling expenses of $930,987 as compared to $865,656 in 2013, an increase of $65,241 or 7.5%.  Beginning in December 2013, we hired several additional sales personnel in an effort to increase commercial and U.S. Government agency sales.  However, we eliminated certain sales positions in the third and fourth quarters of 2013, which offset a substantial portion of the expenses associated with the new personnel.  The increases were offset by a decrease in stock options expense of $21,541.

      Operating (Loss) Income

In 2014, we had an operating loss of $51,672 as compared to operating income of $440,627 for 2013, a decrease of $492,299.  The decrease is principally attributable to an increase in our general and administrative expenses of $279,973 and our selling expenses of $65,241 during 2014.

Loss on Investment

During 2014 and 2013, we acquired 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Sudo.me Corporation (goSudo) for $300,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of a preferred stock purchase agreement.  As a result, at December 31, 2014, we own approximately 9.4% of the total outstanding shares of goSudo.  goSudo's web site is http://goSudo.com (the information contained in goSudo’s website shall not be considered a part of this Report).  Our management exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of goSudo.  During 2014, the investment was written down by $168,000 consisting of $68,000 equity interest in the loss of goSudo and an impairment loss of $100,000 ($23,000 equity interest in the loss of goSudo - 2013).  The investment has a carrying value of $109,000 at December 31, 2014 ($247,000 - 2013).

       Interest Expense

Interest expense includes interest on indebtedness and fees for financing accounts receivable invoices.  Interest expense was $278,328 for 2014 compared to $309,127 for 2013, a decrease of $30,799 or 10.0%.  The decreases principally result from changes in the terms of our line of credit financing agreement which became effective in April 2014.  We also paid principal of $62,510 on loans during 2014 which reduced our interest expense.

Net (Loss) Income

In 2014, we had a net loss of $498,000 or $(.02) per share compared to net income of $108,500 or $.00 per share for 2013, a decrease of $606,500.

Other Trends

During the past several years, the United States and worldwide capital and credit markets experienced significant price volatility and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably.  These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in some cases have resulted in the unavailability of financing.  Continued uncertainty in the capital and credit markets may negatively impact our business, including our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or to refinance our credit at improved terms, which may negatively affect our ability to make future acquisitions or expansions of our business.  These events also may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital.  The disruptions in the financial markets may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock and other adverse effects on our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2014, we had cash of $7,768 available for our primary liquidity needs for working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures.  During 2014, we financed our business activities principally through cash flows provided by operations and sales with recourse of our accounts receivable.  Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by collections of accounts receivable and our factoring line of credit.  At December 31, 2014, we had financing availability, based on eligible accounts receivable, of approximately $140,000 under this line.

On December 1, 2014, we entered into an unsecured line of credit financing agreement (the “LOC Agreement”) with a member of our board of directors.  The LOC Agreement provides for working capital of up to $400,000 through December 31, 2017.  We borrowed $200,000 during 2014 for working capital.
 
 
23

 
 
At December 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,032,000 and a current ratio of .28.  Our objective is to improve our working capital position through profitable operations.

The following table summarizes our cash flow information for the years presented, described below, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements appearing at Item 15, Page F-1, et seq., of this report.

Cash Flows (Used) Provided by Operating Activities

Cash used by operations of $77,703 in 2014 was primarily due to net loss of $498,000 and a decrease in accrued expenses payable of $146,393.  This was offset principally by non-cash expenses for depreciation, stock based compensation and loss on equity investment totaling $304,830 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $232,446.

Cash provided by operations of $175,622 in 2013 was primarily due to net income of $108,500, an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $68,091 and non-cash expenses for depreciation, stock based compensation and loss on equity investment totaling $138,733.  These were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $120,890.

Beginning in December 2013, we hired several additional sales personnel in an effort to increase commercial and U.S. Government agency sales.  Due to the lengthy lead times typically needed to generate new sales in these areas, we do not expect to realize a return from the addition of the new sales personnel for several quarters.  As a result, we may experience net losses from these investments in personnel until sufficient sales are generated.  We expect to fund the cost for the new sales personnel from our operating cash flows and incremental borrowings, as needed.

Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our vendor payments by using cash generated by operations and financing our accounts receivable.  We bill our clients weekly or monthly after services are performed, depending on the contract terms.
 
Cash Flows Used by Investing Activities

Cash used by investing activities for 2014 was $68,966 compared with $184,965 for 2013.  Cash used by investing activities included capital expenditures for computer hardware and software of $30,316 in 2014 and $29,132 in 2013.  We also acquired a new telephone system in 2013.  In 2014, we relocated our offices to more efficient space in the same office park and incurred costs of $8,650 for cabling our computer networks and work stations for our newly hired sales personnel.  We expect to continue to invest in computer hardware and software to update our technology to support our business.

During 2014 and 2013, we purchased authorized but unissued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A stock”), $.001 par value, of Sudo.me Corporation (“goSudo”) for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000 and $270,000 (of which $114,167 was settlement of accounts receivable classified as non-cash and $155,833 as cash transactions), respectively.

Cash Flows Provided (Used) by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $137,490 for 2014 compared with cash used by financing activities of $29,868 for 2013.  In 2014, we borrowed $200,000 for working capital under our LOC agreement.  In 2014 and 2013, we repaid related party notes of $41,324 and $7,000, respectively, and reduced other notes payable by $21,186 and $22,868, respectively.

We anticipate that we will use approximately $22,560 through the next twelve months for funding contractual requirements of current maturities of long-term debt obligations.  We continue to evaluate repayment of other notes payable based on our cash flow.  A note payable of $265,000 that was scheduled to mature on January 1, 2015 was extended to January 1, 2018.  On March 13, 2014, the PBGC modified our note payable by deferring a principal payment of $75,000 that was due on March 15, 2015 to September 15, 2018.  We have convertible notes payable of $473,000 due to related parties and $325,000 due to third parties all of which mature on January 1, 2016.  During 2015, we plan to evaluate alternatives which may include renegotiating the terms of the notes, seeking conversion of the notes to shares of common stock and seeking funds to repay the notes.

Our goal is to increase sales and generate cash flow from operations.  We continue to use ISO 9001-2008 processes to manage certain key metrics.  These improvements have aided us in the management of our overall performance including the expense reductions and other key internal performance metrics.

Credit Resources

We maintain an accounts receivable financing line of credit with an independent financial institution that allows us to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution with full recourse against us in the amount of $2,000,000, including a sublimit for one major client of $1,500,000.  This provides us with the cash needed to finance certain of our on-going costs and expenses.  At December 31, 2014, we had financing availability, based on eligible accounts receivable, of approximately $140,000 under this line.  We pay fees based on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid.

We believe the capital resources available under our factoring line of credit, cash from additional related party loans and cash generated by improving the results of our operations will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and to support the internal growth we expect to achieve for at least the next 12 months.  However, if we do not continue to improve the results of our operations in future periods, we expect that additional working capital will be required to fund our business.  There is no assurance that in the event we need additional funds that adequate additional working capital will be available or, if available, will be offered on acceptable terms.

We anticipate financing growth from acquisitions of other businesses, if any, and our longer-term internal growth through one or more of the following sources: cash from collections of accounts receivable; additional borrowing from related parties; issuance of equity; use of our existing accounts receivable credit facility; or a refinancing of our accounts receivable credit facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There are several accounting policies that we believe are significant to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.  These policies require management to make complex or subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.  Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements presents a summary of significant accounting policies.  The most critical accounting policies follow.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are generated under both time and material and fixed price consulting agreements.  Consulting revenue is recognized when the associated costs are incurred, which coincides with the consulting services being provided.  Time and materials service agreements are based on hours worked and are billed at agreed upon hourly rates for the respective position plus other billable direct costs.  Fixed price service agreements are based on a fixed amount of periodic billings for recurring services of a similar nature performed according to the contractual arrangements with clients.  Under both types of agreements, the delivery of services occurs when an employee works on a specific project or assignment as stated in the contract or purchase order.  Based on historical experience, we believe that collection is reasonably assured. 
 
 
25

 
 
Client deposits received in advance are recorded as liabilities until associated services are completed.  During 2014, sales to one client, including sales under subcontracts for services to several entities, accounted for 60.2% of total sales (68.9% - 2013) and 27.8% of accounts receivable (56.4% - 2013) at December 31, 2014.  Sales to another client, which consisted of sales under subcontracts, accounted for 30.7% of sales in 2014 (25.0% - 2013) and 49.6% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 (37.0% - 2013).

Accounts Receivable Provisions

As part of the financial reporting process, management estimates and establishes reserves for potential credit losses relating to the collection of certain receivables.  This analysis involves a degree of judgment regarding clients’ ability and willingness to satisfy its obligations to us.  These estimates are based on past history with clients and current circumstances.  Management’s failure to identify all factors involved in determining the collectability of an account receivable could result in bad debts in excess of reserves established.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation and Income Taxes

Management calculates the future tax benefit relating to certain tax timing differences and available net operating losses and credits available to offset future taxable income.  This deferred tax asset is then reduced by a valuation allowance if management believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized.  This estimate is based on historical profitability results, expected future performance and the expiration of certain tax attributes which give rise to the deferred tax asset.  As of the balance sheet date, a reserve has been established for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset.  In the event, we generate future taxable income we will be able to utilize the net operating loss carry forwards subject to any utilization limitations.  This will result in the realization of the deferred tax asset, which has been fully reserved.  As a result, we would have to revise estimates of future profitability and determine if its valuation reserve requires downward adjustment.

At December 31, 2014, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,800,000 and various state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,200,000 which expire from 2018 through 2034.  Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.  The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

We periodically review tax positions taken to determine if any uncertainty exists related to those tax positions.  We do not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2014.  We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.  During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized no interest and penalties.

Stock Option Awards

We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment,” and recognize compensation expense related to stock based payments over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards.  We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of the awards.

The compensation cost that has been charged against income for options granted to employees under the plans was $110,340 and $94,699 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For stock options issued as non-ISO, a tax deduction is not allowed for income tax purposes until the options are exercised.  The amount of this deduction will be the difference between the fair value of our common stock and the exercise price at the date of exercise.  Accordingly, there is a deferred tax asset recorded for the tax effect of the financial statement expense recorded.  The tax effect of the income tax deduction in excess of the financial statement expense will be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.  Due to the uncertainty of our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the tax benefits of the options granted, we have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its gross deferred tax asset to zero.  As a result, for 2014 and 2013, there is no income tax expense impact from recording the fair value of options granted.  No tax deduction is allowed for stock options issued as ISO’s.
 
 
26

 
 
During 2014, we used volatility of 100% when computing the value of stock options and warrants.  This is based on our historic volatility.  The expected life of the options is assumed to be 3.25 to 5.75 years using the simplified method for plain vanilla options as stated in FASB ASC 718-10-S99 to improve the accuracy of this assumption while simplifying record keeping requirements until more detailed information about exercise behavior is available.  The expected dividend yield is zero percent.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and ranged from .77% to 1.98% for 2014.

Equity Instruments Issued to Consultants and Vendors in Exchange for Goods and Services

Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.”  The measurement date for the fair value award of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.  We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the awards.  The fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.  We periodically evaluate the likelihood of reaching the performance requirements and recognize consulting expense over the expected term associated with these performance based awards once it is probable the consultants will achieve their performance criteria and the awards will become vested.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable approximate fair value because of the immediate short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The carrying value of notes payable and convertible notes payable approximates the fair value based on rates currently available from financial institutions and various lenders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.  The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern."  The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances.  The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.  The Company is evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

       (a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Infinite Group have been detected.

       (b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992).  Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.  During 2015, management plans to implement the criteria set forth in the most recent revisions of COSO dated May 2013.

       (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B.  Other Information

On December 31, 2014, we entered into an amendment to our note payable of $265,000 with Carle C. Conway that was scheduled to mature on January 1, 2015 to extend the maturity date to January 1, 2018.

On February 12, 2015, we received a loan of $25,000 from our senior vice-president, chief administrative officer, Andrew Hoyen.  The loan pays interest at 7% per annum. The note is unsecured and matures on March 31, 2018. The principal is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at $.10 per share.  The sale of the convertible note to Mr. Hoyen is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Officers, Directors and Equity Investment

We are obligated under a convertible note payable to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC (“Northwest”).  James Villa, our CEO and President, is the sole member of Northwest.  At March 23, 2015, Northwest is the holder of a convertible note bearing interest at 6% with principal of $200,000 and convertible accrued interest of $54,825 which matures on January 1, 2016 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.05 per share for a total of 5,096,498 shares.  During 2014, interest of $21,874 was paid and principal of $203,324 was reduced by payments of $3,324 on this note.  During 2014, we paid off a note payable of $25,000 and paid related accrued interest of $3,749 to Northwest.

At March 23, 2015, Dr. Allan M. Robbins, a member of our Board, is the holder of a convertible note bearing interest at 6% with principal of $264,000 and convertible accrued interest of $213,806 which matures on January 1, 2016 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.05 per share for a total of 9,556,114 shares.

At March 23, 2015, Mr. James Witzel, our Chief Financial Officer, is the holder of a convertible note bearing interest at 6%, with principal of $9,000 and convertible accrued interest of $4,110 which matures on January 1, 2016 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.05 per share for a total of 262,192 shares.

The interest rates on the aforementioned notes payable to Northwest, Dr. Robbins and Mr. Witzel (collectively, the “Notes”) are adjusted annually, on January 1st of each year, to a rate equal to the prime rate in effect on December 31st of the immediately preceding year, plus one and one quarter percent, but in no event less than 6% per annum.  The Notes are secured by a security interest in all our assets.

Generally, upon notice, prior to the maturity date, note holders can convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal on the Notes.  However, the Notes are not convertible into shares of our common stock to the extent conversion would result in a change of control which would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards; provided, however, this limitation will not apply if we close a transaction with another third party or parties that results in a change of control which will limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards.

Prior to any conversion, the holders of the Notes are entitled to convert their Notes, on a pari passu basis and upon any such participation the requesting note holder shall proportionately adjust his conversion request such that, in the aggregate, a change of control, which will limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards, does not occur; provided, however, the right to participate is only available to a noteholder if his Note is then convertible into 5% or more of our common stock.

In 2010, 2009 and 2006, we issued three demand notes to Dr. Robbins, in the principal amount of $40,000 with interest at 12% per annum (the “2010 Note”), $50,000 with interest at 10% per annum (the “2009 Note”) and $105,000 with interest at 18% per annum (the “2006 Note”).  At the election of the holder, the principal of the 2010 Note may be converted into 363,636 shares of our common stock at $.11 per share.  At March 23, 2015, the outstanding principal balance on the 2010 Note remained unchanged at $40,000, the outstanding principal balance on the 2009 Note remained unchanged since December 31, 2013 at $30,000 and the 2006 Note with a balance of $13,000 at December 31, 2013 was paid off during 2014.  At March 23, 2015, the aggregate accrued interest on these three notes was $107,428.

On December 1, 2014, we entered into an unsecured line of credit financing agreement with Mr. Donald W. Reeve, a member of our board of directors which provides for working capital of up to $400,000 through December 31, 2017.  We paid an origination fee consisting of (i) 600,000 shares of our common stock valued at $30,000 and (ii) options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.05 valued at $23,400 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model all of which were immediately vested.  The note balance was $200,000 at December 31, 2014 and $318,676 at March 23, 2015 with interest at 6.1% payable monthly in arrears.

On February 12, 2015, we issued a note payable to Mr. Andrew Hoyen, our Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Vice President of Business Development, in the principal amount of $25,000 with interest at 7% per annum which matures on March 31, 2018.  At the election of the holder, the principal of the note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.10 per share for a total of 250,000 shares.
 
Between June 1, 2012 and December 31, 2014, we provided software development and management services to goSudo.  These services were provided on a “cost-plus” basis, but were provided on more favorable terms than our usual and customary rates charged to our customers.  Since December 31, 2014, we have continued to provide services to goSudo on similar terms.  We sublease 2,500 of our leased office space to goSudo at the same terms as our lease at annual rent of $18,097.  At December 31, 2014, $66,674 was due and payable to us.

During 2014 and 2013, we purchased 300,000 shares of the authorized but unissued shares of Series A stock of goSudo for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of a preferred stock purchase agreement.  As a result, at December 31, 2014, we own approximately 9.4% of the total outstanding shares of goSudo.  goSudo's web site is http://goSudo.com (the information contained in goSudo’s website shall not be considered a part of this Report).  Our source of funds consisted of settlement of accounts receivable of $114,167 due from goSudo and cash of $185,833.

Mr. Villa, during 2014, 2013 and 2012 and Dr. Robbins, during 2013 and 2012, made loans to goSudo and during 2013 converted loans into goSudo Series A stock.  In addition, Mr. Villa is one of four members of the board of directors of goSudo, holds the position of President of goSudo and is active in managing goSudo's business.  As a result of the foregoing, we are deemed to have significant influence upon goSudo's policy and operating decisions.

David N. Slavny

At March 23, 2015, David N. Slavny, our Director of Business Development and a beneficial owner of approximately 8.9% of our outstanding common stock, held a convertible demand note in the principal amount of $59,000, accruing interest at 11% per annum of which $1,636 was paid during 2014.  At March 23, 2015, the outstanding principal of $59,000 and accrued interest of $6,312 is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.16 per share for a total of 408,201 shares.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that Donald Reeve and Dr. Robbins are “independent” in accordance with the NASDAQ’s independence standards.  Our audit and compensation committees consist of Mr. Villa and Dr. Robbins, of which only Dr. Robbins is sufficiently independent for compensation committee purposes under NASDAQ’s standards and neither of them is sufficiently independent for audit committee purposes under NASDAQ’s standards by virtue of their respective beneficial ownership of our common stock.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The aggregate fees billed by our principal accounting firm, Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
 
   
2014
   
2013
 
Audit fees
  $ 80,000     $ 85,000  
Audit related fees
    -       -  
Total audit and audit related fees
  $ 80,000     $ 85,000  

Audit fees for 2014 and 2013 were for professional services rendered for the audits of our annual consolidated financial statements and reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.  There were no tax or other non-audit related services provided by the independent accountants for 2014 and 2013.

As a matter of policy, each permitted non-audit service is pre-approved by the audit committee or the audit committee’s chairman pursuant to delegated authority by the audit committee, other than de minimus non-audit services for which the pre-approval requirements are waived in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
The audit committee charter provides that the audit committee will pre-approve audit services and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors before the accountant is engaged to render these services. The audit committee may consult with management in the decision-making process, but may not delegate this authority to management. The audit committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve services to one or more committee members, provided that the designees present the pre-approvals to the full committee at the next committee meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Infinite Group, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Infinite Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Infinite Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements consist of the financial statements of Infinite Group, Inc. (the Company).

The Company operates in one segment, the field of information technology (IT) consulting services, with all operations based in the United States.  There were no sales from customers in foreign countries during 2014 and 2013 and all assets are located in the United States.  Certain projects required employees to travel to foreign countries during 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 2. - MANAGEMENT PLANS

The Company reported net (loss) income of $(498,000) in 2014 and $108,500 in 2013 and stockholders’ deficiencies at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  The Company’s business strategy is summarized as follows.

On October 1, 2014, the Company hired an executive officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Vice President of Business Development, who is responsible for working with other key executives to develop and implement the Company’s strategic direction and marketing plans and improve performance through collaboration between sales and service delivery functions.

During 2014, the Company performed vulnerability and security configurations scans against internal and external networks using proprietary software.  In February 2015, the Company purchased this software known as UberScan and hired a Director of CyberSecurity who has expertise in designing, developing, marketing, and selling network security assessment software and project assessments using UberScan (see Note 16). The Company provides technical and executive summary reports of ongoing risks, identifies and prioritizes security vulnerabilities and communicates remediation recommendations.

The Company plans include continuing to provide cloud related IT managed services and solutions and continuing to expand into the commercial sector including the small and medium sized businesses (SMB) space.  The Company also reviews potential acquisitions of IT assets and businesses. The Company is committed to remaining on the leading edge of technologies and trends in the IT service sector. The Company’s ability to succeed may depend on how successful it is in differentiating itself from competition at a time when competition in these markets is on the rise.

The Company strategy has been to bid for contract vehicles that facilitate Federal and State government procurement requirements which allow the Company to compete further on task orders issued under the contract vehicles.  The uncertainty in the Federal process along with a lack of socio-economic advantage makes it difficult for the Company to compete in the government market. The Company’s strategy is to establish partnerships to create a better competitive advantage.

In addition, the Company's strategy is to build its business by delivering a wide range of IT solutions and services that address challenges common to many U.S. Government agencies, state and local governments and commercial companies including SMBs.  The Company believes that its core strengths position the Company to respond to the long-term trends and changing demands of the IT markets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. - MANAGEMENT PLANS – CONTINUED

The Company has established several areas of specific focus with the objective of increasing its sales, which include the following:
 
●  
Cloud computing;
●  
Managed services that include managing leading edge operations and implementing complex programs in advanced server management;
●  
Remote desktop and remote server monitoring and remediation;
●  
Help desk and call center services;
●  
Third party data storage;
●  
Cyber security services; and
●  
Project management.

Continue to Improve Operations and Capital Resources

The Company's goal is to increase sales and generate cash flow from operations on a consistent basis.  The Company used ISO 9001-2008 practices as a tool for improvement that has aided expense reduction and internal performance.  Since 2013, the Company realized expense reductions associated with less travel and other selling expenses due to maintaining fewer business development positions and utilizing more virtual meetings, webinars and conference calls. Beginning in late 2013, the company hired new sales employees with the objective of increasing sales.

The Company believes the capital resources available under its factoring line of credit, cash from additional related party loans and cash generated by improving the results of its operations provide sources to fund its ongoing operations and to support the internal growth the Company expects to achieve for at least the next 12 months.  However, if the Company does not continue to maintain or improve the results of its operations in future periods, the Company expects that additional working capital will be required to fund its business.

On December 1, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured line of credit financing agreement (the “LOC Agreement”) with a member of its board of directors.  The LOC Agreement provides for working capital of up to $400,000 through December 31, 2017.  Although the Company has no assurances, the Company believes that related parties, who have previously provided working capital, will continue to provide working capital loans on similar terms, as in the past, as may be necessary to fund its on-going operations for at least the next 12 months.

If the Company experiences significant growth in its sales, the Company believes that this may require it to increase its financing line, finance additional accounts receivable, or obtain additional working capital from other sources to support its sales growth.

NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable - Credit is granted to substantially all customers throughout the United States.  The Company carries its accounts receivable at invoice amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts.  On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.  The Company’s policy is to not accrue interest on past due receivables.   Management determined that an allowance of $70,000 for doubtful accounts was reasonably stated at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions.  The cash accounts occasionally exceed the federally insured deposit amount; however, management does not anticipate nonperformance by financial institutions.  Management reviews the financial viability of these institutions on a periodic basis.

Loan Origination Fees  The Company capitalizes the costs of loan origination fees and amortizes the fees as interest expense over the contractual life of each agreement.

Sale of Certain Accounts Receivable - The Company has available a financing line with a financial institution (the Purchaser).  In connection with this line of credit the Company adopted FASB ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”.  FASB ASC 860 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  The Company has a factoring line with the Purchaser which enables the Company to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the Purchaser with full recourse against the Company.

These transactions qualify for a sale of assets since (1) the Company has transferred all of its right, title and interest in the selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution, (2) the Purchaser may pledge, sell or transfer the selected accounts receivable invoices, and (3) the Company has no effective control over the selected accounts receivable invoices since it is not entitled to or obligated to repurchase or redeem the invoices before their maturity and it does not have the ability to unilaterally cause the Purchaser to return the invoices. Under FASB ASC 860, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.

Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 860, the Company reflects the transactions as a sale of assets and establishes an accounts receivable from the Purchaser for the retained amount less the costs of the transaction and less any anticipated future loss in the value of the retained asset.  In April 2014, the Company completed a revised financing agreement with the Purchaser.  The retained amount was revised to 15% of the total accounts receivable invoice sold to the Purchaser.  Previously the retained amount was 20%.  The fee for the initial purchase is .466% of the invoice.  The fee is charged at prime plus 4% (effective rate of 7.25% at December 31, 2014) against the average daily outstanding balance of funds advanced.  Previously, the fee for the first 30 days was 1% and additional fees were charged against the average daily balance of net outstanding funds at the prime rate, which was 3.25% per annum as of December 31, 2014.  The estimated future loss reserve for each receivable included in the estimated value of the retained asset is based on the payment history of the accounts receivable customer and is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts, if any.  As collateral, the Company granted the Purchaser a first priority interest in accounts receivable and a blanket lien, which may be junior to other creditors, on all other assets.

The financing line provides the Company the ability to finance up to $2,000,000 of selected accounts receivable invoices, which includes a sublimit for one of the Company’s customers of $1,500,000.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold approximately $8,299,000 ($8,132,000 - 2013) of its accounts receivable to the Purchaser.  As of December 31, 2014, $874,458 ($799,381 - 2013) of these receivables remained outstanding.  Additionally, as of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $140,000 available under the financing line with the financial institution ($220,000 – 2013).  After deducting estimated fees and advances from the Purchaser, the

NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

net receivable from the Purchaser amounted to $149,573 at December 31, 2014 ($187,258 - 2013), and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets as of that date. 

There were no gains or losses on the sale of the accounts receivable because all were collected.  The cost associated with the financing line totaled approximately $144,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 ($176,000 - 2013).  These financing line fees are classified on the statements of operations as interest expense.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives for financial statement purposes. The cost of improvements to leased properties is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized.

Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets - The Company follows provisions of FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” in accounting for the impairment of disposal of long-lived assets.  This standard specifies, among other things, that long-lived assets are to be reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets during 2014 and 2013.

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenues are generated under both time and material and fixed price agreements.  Consulting revenue is recognized when the associated costs are incurred, which coincides with the consulting services being provided.  Time and materials service agreements are based on hours worked and are billed at agreed upon hourly rates for the respective position plus other billable direct costs.  Fixed price service agreements are based on a fixed amount of periodic billings for recurring services of a similar nature performed according to the contractual arrangements with clients.  Under both types of agreements, the delivery of services occurs  when  an employee  works on a specific  project or  assignment as stated in the contract or purchase order.  Based on historical experience, the Company believes that collection is reasonably assured. 

During 2014, sales to one client, including sales under subcontracts for services to several entities, accounted for 60.2% of total sales (68.9% - 2013) and 27.8% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 (56.4% - 2013).  Sales to another client, which consisted of sales under subcontracts, accounted for 30.7% of sales in 2014 (25.0% - 2013) and 49.6% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 (37.0% - 2013).

Equity Instruments - For equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services the Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.”  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Stock Options - The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock based payments over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of the awards.

NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

           Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.”  Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position.  The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2014 or 2013.  The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.  During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.

The Company files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in various states.  The tax years 2011 through 2014 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company has determined the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, consists of three levels.
 
Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3, which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.
 
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its term debt and notes payable, the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive potential common shares which, in the Company’s case, comprise shares issuable under convertible notes payable and stock options. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of the options and warrants assumed to be exercised.  In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.

Certain common shares issuable under stock options and convertible notes payable have been omitted from the diluted net (loss) income per share calculation because their inclusion is considered anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Equity Investments - The Company accounts for investments in equity securities of other entities under the cost method of accounting if investments in voting equity interests of the investee are less than 20%.  The equity method of accounting is used if the Company’s investment in voting stock is greater than or equal to 20% but less than a majority.  In considering the accounting method for investments less than 20%, the Company also considers other factors such as its ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee.  If certain factors are present, the Company could account for investments for which it has less than a 20% ownership under the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates - 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 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.  The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern."  The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances.  The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.  Early application is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 5. - INVESTMENT

During 2014 and 2013, the Company purchased 300,000 shares of the authorized but unissued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A stock”), $.001 par value, of Sudo.me Corporation (goSudo) for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of a preferred stock purchase agreement.  goSudo is a customer of the Company.  As a result, at December 31, 2014, the Company owns approximately 9.4% of the total outstanding shares of goSudo.  The initial and subsequent investments during 2013 included settlement of accounts receivable of $114,167 which is considered a non-cash investing activity.

INFINITE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 5. - INVESTMENT – CONTINUED

The investment is accounted for using the equity method since Company management exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of goSudo.  Beginning in 2012 certain officers and directors of the Company made loans to goSudo and converted loans to Series A stock.  In addition, one former Company employee, whose employment extended through June 30, 2014, is one of four members of the board of directors of goSudo and, was active in managing goSudo's business.  The Company’s chief executive officer is a member of the board of directors and is President of goSudo.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company is deemed to have significant influence upon goSudo's policy and operating decisions.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the investment was written down by $168,000 consisting of $68,000 equity interest in the loss of goSudo and an impairment loss of $100,000 ($23,000 equity interest in the loss of goSudo - 2013).  The investment has a carrying value of $109,000 at December 31, 2014 ($247,000 - 2013).

The Series A stock votes together with all other classes of stock as a single class on all actions to be taken by the stockholders.  Series A stock dividends accrue at the rate of $.10 per year on each share from the date of issuance.  Each Series A share entitles the holder to such number of votes per share based on the number of shares of common stock it is convertible into.  At the option of the holder, each share and accrued and unpaid dividends are convertible into shares of common stock at a rate of the quotient of (i) preferred shares plus unpaid dividends divided by (ii) the number of preferred shares.  Shares of Series A stock are automatically converted to shares of common stock upon a firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock yielding gross proceeds of at least $10 million at a minimum price of $3 per share.

Unaudited financial information for goSudo as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflects total assets of $10,639, total liabilities of $753,305, and a net loss of $781,300.  goSudo is a development stage enterprise and has no revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 6. - LOAN ORIGINATION FEES

On December 1, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured line of credit financing agreement with a member of its board of directors.  The Company paid an origination fee consisting of (i) 600,000 shares of its common stock valued at $30,000 and (ii) options to purchase 600,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.05 valued at $23,400 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model all of which were immediately vested.  At December 31, 2014, the Company has deferred origination fees of $53,400 less accumulated amortization expenses of $1,443 incurred in 2014.  The Company will amortize the remaining balance at the rate of $17,319 annually in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Origination Fee - On December 1, 2014, as payment of a portion of an origination fee under the LOC Agreement, the Company issued options to purchase 600,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.05, all of which were immediately vested.

The Company grants stock options to its key employees and independent service providers as it deems appropriate.  Employee stock options are exercisable as long as the optionee continues to be an employee of the Company and for thirty days subsequent to employee termination.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions.

Volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility.  The expected life of the options was assumed to be 3.25 or 5.75 years using the simplified method for plain vanilla options as stated in FASB ASC 718 to improve the accuracy of this assumption while simplifying record keeping requirements until more detailed information about the Company’s exercise behavior is available. The risk-free rate for the life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The following assumptions were used for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The weighted average fair value of options granted was $.07 and $.08 per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The exercise price for all options granted equaled or exceeded the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,800,000 ($6,500,000 – 2013) and various state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,200,000 ($3,900,000 – 2013) which expire from 2018 through 2034.  These carryforwards exclude federal net operating loss carryforwards from inactive subsidiaries of approximately $6,600,000 ($6,600,000 – 2013), as well as net operating loss carryforwards from states that the Company does not presently operate in.  Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenues Code and similar state provisions.  The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

At December 31, 2014, a net deferred tax asset, representing the future benefit attributed primarily to the available net operating loss carryforwards and defined benefit pension plan expenses, in the amount of approximately $3,145,000 ($3,100,000 - 2013), had been fully offset by a valuation allowance because management believes that the statutory limitations on utilization of the operating losses and concerns over achieving profitable operations diminish the Company’s ability to demonstrate that it is more likely than not that these future benefits will be realized before they expire.
