GBS Enterprises Incorporated

GBS Enterprises Incorporated, a Nevada corporation, through its subsidiaries, is a global provider of technology solutions for businesses and government agencies. We focus on developing and delivering solutions that help our customers to gain value and reduce cost in the development, deployment and management of the applications used in the course of conducting their business (“business applications”). We do this by building software and providing services that aid in:

Our customers include corporate and government IT departments, solutions integrators (“SIs”) and independent software vendors (“ISVs”). Our corporate customers are from a variety of industries, including insurance, financial services, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and education. The install-base of our software products spans more than 5,000,000 users in 38 countries on four continents. We principally market and sell our products and services directly in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics and India; and indirectly through local distributors and resellers representing Australia, South America and regionally in Europe.

Our software and services are designed to mainly serve organizations that have investments in IBM’s Lotus® Notes and Domino platform. The IBM Lotus® Notes and Domino platform is both a system for enterprise email as well as an application platform, meaning that it can be used as both an email system and an environment in which business applications can be deployed and used. This platform was originally brought to market by Lotus Development Corp. in 1989, and was subsequently acquired by IBM in 1995. According to Radicati, in 2011, IBM Lotus Domino will have a worldwide installed base of 189 million mailboxes. Currently, the installed base for On-Premises IBM Lotus Domino mailboxes represents the majority of worldwide IBM Lotus Domino mailboxes, accounting for 87% of worldwide IBM Lotus Domino mailboxes. By 2015, this percentage is expected to decrease to 80%, as hosted email grows in popularity. (The Radicati Group Inc., April 2011, “IBM Lotus Notes/Domino Market Analysis, 2011-2015“)

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

We, through our subsidiaries, have executed our strategy to acquire companies, which have developed software and specialized services for the Lotus Notes and Domino market. This growth by acquisition strategy has resulted in less competition for our software products; a large concentration of highly skilled employees with unique expertise in the area of Lotus Notes and Domino; staff and physical offices on three continents providing greater access to a global market; significant market awareness and greater market share amongst organizations that use Lotus Notes and Domino; and a comprehensive portfolio of solutions specific to the needs and requirements of organizations which use Lotus Notes and Domino.

While our products and services remain in use and demand, over the last several years, the market itself has been undergoing a paradigm shift. New technologies, especially in the areas of Cloud Computing and Mobile applications, have grown in popularity due to the potential cost savings and operational efficiencies they can offer. As organizations make investments in these new technologies, they are faced with highly complex and costly projects to migrate (“migration”) or replace their existing systems that don’t operate in the cloud or on mobile devices (“modernization”) – this includes their existing email and business applications that run on Lotus Notes and Domino.

To that end, we have acquired and developed technologies that help organizations reduce the time, cost, resources and risks associated with these highly complex migration and modernization projects.

General Corporate History

We were incorporated in Nevada on March 20, 2007 as SWAV Enterprises Ltd. (“SWAV”). SWAV was an importer and wholesaler of Chinese manufactured goods.

As a result of the two sets of transactions, Lotus owned an aggregate of 14,250,010 shares of common stock of SWAV, representing approximately 95.0% of the 15,000,000 shares of SWAV common stock outstanding on April 26, 2010.

About Lotus Holdings, Ltd.

Lotus is a holding company which was formed under the laws of Gibraltar for the purpose of financing merger and acquisition projects, specifically in the niche market of small or microcap companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with complex shareholder structures and whose stock is trading below one Euro (€1.00) per share.

SPPEFs

Lotus typically finances its merger and acquisition projects through the use of Special Purpose Private Equity Funds (“SPPEFs”). Typically, SPPEFs are funded by a company’s major shareholders (the “Major Shareholders”) seeking to raise capital for projects and who fund at least 50% of the SPPEF, with the remaining portion being provided through the investment community and network of investors in Lotus. Each SPPEF is co-managed by a representative of the company’s Major Shareholders (the “Representative Secretary”) and an attorney appointed by Lotus (the “Lotus Representative”).

On February 25, 2010, a group of shareholders (the “GROUP Major Shareholders”) of GROUP Business Software AG, a German public company trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “INW” (“GROUP”), engaged Lotus to provide financial consulting and advisory services, on a non-exclusive basis, for the primary task of establishing a SPPEF. On March 12, 2010, the GROUP Major Shareholders and Lotus established and funded a SPPEF with $1,400,000, consisting of $1,000,000 from the GROUP Major Shareholders and $400,000 from a Lotus investor (collectively, the “SPPEF Members”).

The 11,984,770 shares of SWAV common stock represented approximately 79.9% of the 15,000,000 outstanding shares of SWAV common stock on April 26, 2010. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the then executive officers and directors of SWAV resigned and Mr. Joerg Ott, the Chief Executive Officer of GROUP and a GROUP Major Shareholder, was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of SWAV and sole member of SWAV’s Board of Directors.

On November 1, 2010, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 3,043,985 of the 11,984,770 shares of the Company’s common stock originally purchased by Lotus on April 26, 2010. In consideration for the 3,043,985 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company issued to Lotus a Secured Demand Note, dated November 1, 2010 (the “First Demand Note”), for the principal amount of $300,000 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The First Demand Note was repaid in September 2011.

Effective December 30, 2010, pursuant to securities purchase agreements between the Company and six GROUP Major Shareholders, the Company purchased an aggregate of 7,115,500 shares of GROUP common stock from the six GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate for 3,043,985 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “December Transaction”).

After the December Transaction was completed, the additional GROUP Major Shareholders accepted the share swap offer from the Company and effectuated a reverse merger of GROUP and the Company. To effectuate the reverse merger, on January 5, 2011, the Company repurchased from Lotus an aggregate of 2,361,426 of the 11,984,770 shares of the Company’s common stock originally purchased by Lotus on April 26, 2010. In consideration for these 2,361,426 shares, the Company issued to Lotus a Secured Demand Note, dated January 5, 2011 (the “Second Demand Note”), for the principal amount of $200,000 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The Second Demand Note was repaid in November 2011.

Effective January 6, 2011, pursuant to securities purchase agreements between the Company and the remaining GROUP Major Shareholders, the Company purchased an aggregate of 5,525,735 shares of GROUP common stock from the remaining GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate of 2,361,426 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “January Transaction”). The 5,525,735 GROUP shares represented approximately 21.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of GROUP. As a result of the December Transaction and January Transaction, the Company purchased an aggregate of 12,641,235 shares of GROUP from the GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate of 5,405,411 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in the Company owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding common stock of GROUP and effectuating a reverse merger of the Company and GROUP whereby GROUP became the accounting acquirer.

Pavone, Ltd.

The Company serves the UK market with GROUP’s subsidiary GBS, Ltd. Therefore, subsidiary Pavone, Ltd, as being a shell company, was dissolved on July 8, 2012.

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the more significant of which are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) authoritative guidance regarding segment reporting establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment – the development and maintenance of computer software programs and support products.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted the FASB Codification topic (“ASC”) 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability. Since inception, the Company’s other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments and small net actuarial losses on pension plans.

Net Income per Common Share

ASC 260, “Earnings per share”, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive. Accordingly, although the diluted weighted average number of common stock outstanding is disclosed on the statements of operation, the calculated net loss per share is the same for both the basic and diluted as both are based on the basic weighted average of common stock outstanding. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivable, financial assets, notes payable, liabilities to banks, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities, due to related parties and retirement benefit obligations. Financial assets and liabilities are measured upon first recognition and reviewed at the financial statement date. Changes in fair value are recognized through profit and loss. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

Currency Risk

We use the US dollar as our reporting currency. The functional currencies of our significant foreign subsidiaries are the local currency, which includes the Euro, the British pound and the Bulgarian Lev. Accordingly, some assets and liabilities are incurred in those currencies and we are subject to foreign currency risks.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

The Company has adopted ASC 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

Inventories

Pursuant to ASC 330 (Inventories), inventories held for sale are recognized under inventories. Inventories were measured at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in-first out basis, without any overhead component.

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets predominately comprise goodwill, acquired software and capitalized software development services. Intangible assets acquired in exchange for payment are reflected at acquisition costs. If the development costs can be capitalized per ASC 985-20-25, these are reflected as ascribable personnel and overhead costs.

Company created software can be intended for sale to third parties or used by the Company itself. If the conditions for capitalization are not met, the expenses are recorded with their effect on profit in the year in which they were incurred.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life to the estimated residual book value in accordance with ASC regulations. In addition, in special circumstances according to ASC 350-30, a recoverability test is performed and, if applicable, unscheduled amortization is considered.

The useful life of acquired software is between three and five years and three years for Company created software.

Intangible assets obtained as part of an acquisition which do not meet the criteria for a separate entry are identified as goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed once a year during an impairment test, whereby the appraised fair value of the invested capital of the reporting unit, is compared with the carrying (book) value of its invested capital amount (including goodwill.) Use value is generally applied in order to determine the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The projected financial plan prepared by the management serves as the basis for this determination of use value and the planning assumptions are each adjusted for the current state of knowledge. Reasonable assumptions regarding macroeconomic trends and historical developments are taken into account in making these adjustments. Future estimated cash flows are determined based on the expected growth rates of the markets in question.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the appraised fair value, the impairment based on use value measures the amount of loss, if any, and an unscheduled amortization expense is recorded. If the appraised value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition or manufacturing costs reduced by scheduled and, if necessary, unscheduled depreciation. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, prorated over their expected useful life. Scheduled depreciation for property, plant and equipment is based on useful lives of 3 to 10 years. Leasehold Improvements are depreciated up to 40 years.

If fixed assets are sold, retired or scrapped, the profit or loss arising from the difference between the net sales proceeds and the residual book value are included under other operating earnings and expenses.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC topic, 360.10. This guidance requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its’ expected cash flows or appraised value In this instance, the asset is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Sources of Revenues:

License revenues

Our license revenues consist of revenues earned from the licensing of our software products. These products are generally licensed on a perpetual basis. Pricing models have generally been based either upon the physical infrastructure, such as the number of physical desktop computers or servers, on which our software runs or on a per user basis. License revenues are recognized when the elements of revenue recognition for the licensed software are complete, generally upon electronic shipment of the software and the software key to provide full access to all functionalities for our customers. In general, our invoices reflect license, service and maintenance components. In the case of multi element contracts, the revenues allocated to the software license in most cases represent the residual amount of the contract after the fair value of the other elements has been determined. Certain products of our software offering are licensed on a subscription basis.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

Software maintenance revenues

Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably on a pro-rata basis over the range of the contract period. Our contract periods typically range from one to five years. Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for software maintenance services is established by the rates charged in stand-alone sales of software maintenance contracts or the stated renewal rate for software maintenance. Customers who are party to software maintenance agreements with us are entitled to receive support, product updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis.

Professional services revenues

Professional services include pre-project consulting, software design, customization, project management, implementation and training. Professional services are not considered essential to the functionality of our products, as these services do not alter the product capabilities and may be performed by our customers or by other vendors. Professional services engagements performed for a fixed fee, for which we are able to make reasonably dependable estimates of progress toward completion, are recognized on a proportional performance basis based on hours incurred and estimated hours of completion. Professional services engagements that are on a time and materials basis are recognized based on hours incurred. Revenues on all other professional services engagements are recognized upon completion. Our professional services may be sold with software products or on a stand-alone basis. Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) of fair value for professional services is based upon the standard rates we charge for such services when sold separately.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is US dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the subsidiary companies whose functional currency is other than US dollars were translated into US dollars using the current rate method. Assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity was translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Other Provisions

According to FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies”, provisions are made whenever there is a current obligation to third parties resulting from a past event which is likely in the future to lead to an outflow of resources and of which the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions not already resulting in an outflow of resources in the following year are recognized at their discounted settlement amount on the financial statement date. The discount taken is based on market interest rates. The settlement amount also includes the expected cost increases. Provisions are not set off against contribution claims. If the amended estimate leads to a reduction of the obligatory amount, the provision is proportionally reversed and the earnings are recognized in other operating earnings.

Deferred Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with FASB Codification topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry forwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. With the objective of reducing the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-loved asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having the likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed beginning April 1, 2013. Adoption of this new standard is not expected to have significant impact to the Company’s financial statement.

Off - Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Principles of Consolidation and Reverse Acquisition

As previously disclosed, the Company has exchanged a total of 5,405,411 shares of common stock in exchange for 50.1% of the outstanding common shares of GROUP. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of GROUP in the form of a reverse merger, whereby GROUP becomes the accounting acquirer and is deemed to have retroactively adopted the capital structure of the Corporation. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of GROUP for periods presented prior to January 6, 2011. All costs associated with the reverse merger transaction were expensed as incurred. Those expenses totaled approximately $300,000 and were included in professional fees in administrative expenses.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

The Company has based its financial reporting for the consolidation with GROUP in accordance with the FASB ASC 805-40 as it relates to reverse acquisitions. Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred by the Company, the acquiree, for financial reporting purposes, over the net amount of the Company’s recognized identifiable assets and liabilities.

We have recorded the acquired assets and liabilities of Group Business Software Enterprises, Inc. on the acquisition date of January 6, 2011, at their fair value and the operations of Group Business Software Enterprises, Inc. have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The assets and liabilities of GROUP, the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their precombination carrying amounts in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-2(a). Therefore, the non-controlling interest reflects the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate interest in the pre-combination carrying amounts of GROUP’s net assets even though the non-controlling interests in other acquisitions are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Fiscal reporting

Effective September 19, 2012, the Company changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. Prior to this change, the company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of SD Holdings, had fiscal year ends of December 31 and in reporting its financial statements, the Company, through the use of Regulation S-X Rule 3A-02 (“the 93 day rule”), consolidated those subsidiaries without any adjustments for timing differences in the period ends. With the change in year end, the Company retroactively adjusted previously released financial statements to reflect this change beginning December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, include the accounts of all consolidated companies for the same nine month period beginning January 1, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The Balance Sheets as at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 have also been adjusted to include the accounts of all consolidated companies as of those dates.

Goodwill arises from the following business acquisitions:

During the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold SD Holdings, Ltd. and dissolved Pavone Ltd., the effect of which was to reduce the goodwill associated with these subsidiaries.

Development costs

The costs of developing new software products and updating products already marketed by the Company are generally recognized as expenses in the period in which they arise. Provided they meet the conditions for capitalization as per FASB ASC 985-20-25, they are capitalized. Capitalized development costs can be attributed to the defined products. These products are technically realizable and there is a target market for them.

The development costs arising in the reporting period result from the personnel costs attributed to the development work as well as overhead costs, provided that these are related to the development work and do not represent general administrative costs. The ascribable overhead costs are directly recognized.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

Capitalized development costs are generally amortized over a period of three years starting with the date of marketability of the new products or major releases.

Concessions, Industrial Property Rights, Licenses

The intangible financial assets carried in this item are licenses acquired in exchange for payment.

These financial assets are measured at acquisition cost less scheduled straight-line amortization. The assets added in the scope of the cost price allocation of the business divisions acquired this year.

The useful life spans were based uniformly throughout the Company according to those used by the parent company. Scheduled amortization is performed over a period from three to ten years.

The useful life of the domain “gbs.com”, was estimated as unlimited. This is because no other legal, contractual or other factors exist which would limit its useful life. It is not systematically amortized, but rather annually. Should there exist signs indicating towards impairment it is tested for recoverability and, if necessary, written down to the amount which could be obtained for it if sold.

Amortization of concessions, industrial property and similar rights and assets, as well as licenses to such rights and assets are presented in the profit and loss statement under "Depreciation and Amortization."

The information contained in the Company’s and GROUP’s websites is not incorporated by reference herein.

The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol, “GBSX.”

Products and Services

GBS has grown by consolidating the fragmented Lotus Software market through the acquisition of companies with complementary product, technology or services offerings. GBS has continuously developed its software and service business to service and support GBS’s expanding Lotus customer base.

Historically, GROUP has achieved growth through acquisition by targeting underperforming companies with complimentary operations and leveraging GROUP’s expertise to successfully turnaround and integrate these targets. Key success factors for this strategy are: enhanced portfolio, positioning GROUP as the ‘one-stop-shop’ for Lotus applications and services, expanded customer support, fast code migration, and cloud enablement/XPages conversion of acquired applications. Going forward, the Company will focus on potential acquisition targets in the following areas of software and services: Applications, Professional Services, Hosting/Outsourcing Services, Administration and IT services, and XPages expertise.

Messaging and Business Applications Software & Solutions

GBS Messaging and Business Application Software & Solutions product lines include software and advisory services for email and Instant Messaging (IM) Management, Security, Compliance, Archiving and Productivity, CRM Applications, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Management software, Workflow and Business Process Management software, ePDF Archiving & Document Management.

GBS develops, sells and installs well known business process and management software suites based on Lotus Notes / Domino and IBM Portal technology, mainly for major international companies and medium-sized customers.

Through GBS’s comprehensive messaging software product lines and associated services, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange or SMTP-based-email customers, as well as Lotus Sametime, customers are able to provide their users with secure, efficient and centrally administered use of e-mail and IM while maintaining control over their compliance with current legal requirements and corporate guidelines.

Consulting Services

GBS develops, sells and orchestrates customer-specific Lotus Domino strategy and consulting services, such as CIO and IT department leader Strategic Advisory Services, Managed Services, Outsourcing, Administration, Assessments and Implementations, Performance Improvements, Custom Application Development, Governance and Security, Technical Support, and Training, as well as Email Migration Services.

Based on GBS’s unique concentration of industry talent and expertise, mainly in the areas inside and around IBM Lotus Notes/Domino, inside and around corporate messaging (IBM, Microsoft, SMTP) and inside and around IT environmental and application assessment, analysis and reporting, commercial and governmental customers, as well as Software Integrators (SI) and channel partners, are able to rely on the companies strategic and tactical advisory services for evaluating, planning, staffing and execution of any customer project. GBS Consulting Services’ global teams of consultants use modern project management techniques, proprietary methodologies and GBS accelerator technologies to complete client projects on time and with reduced risk.

We believe that our focus on recruiting and retaining top Lotus expertise positions our team to offer leading-edge Lotus Notes / Domino subject matter knowledge to our customers. GBS consultants have an average of over 12 years’ experience each in Lotus Notes/Domino and its related products and are routinely asked to present at IBM Lotus events including Lotusphere, an annual conference hosted by IBM Lotus Software.

As a Premier IBM Business Partner GBS is one of the few partners that can sell and support licenses for all five IBM software brands: Lotus, WebSphere, Rational, Tivoli, and DB2.

Cloud Computing

As IT departments face continuous budget reductions and constant pressure for higher performance and efficiency, CIOs are focusing on modern technologies to support their need for increased scalability, flexibility and lower costs. GBS has identified this demand as a strategic growth opportunity for the company and has placed a significant focus on expanding its Cloud Computing and Modernizing/Migrating technology offerings. The strategic opportunities are served by GBS with two distinct offerings:

1) GROUP Live - Cloud Automation Platform / Cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) software and services. and

2) Modernizing/Migrating - Lotus Notes modernization/migration services and technology accelerators

GBS Cloud Computing activities are focused on cloud automation solutions and therefore the Company has made acquisitions and R&D investments to create an award winning Cloud Platform-as-a-Service offering. Under the GROUP Live banner, the GBS PaaS offering has been sold to a variety of enterprise customers, which use the PaaS software to host internal corporate clouds (Private cloud) and applications as-a-service to their various internal user groups. GROUP Live has also been sold and implemented by a number of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), which are leveraging the platform to deliver their own Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications to their respective customer bases.

Both of these customer groups enjoy the comprehensive nature of this platform agnostic PaaS solution and its exceptional change management capabilities, enabling resource flexibility, business agility, scalability and ease-of-use beyond that which is generally available in the market today.

GBS Lotus Application Modernization and Migration

GBS Lotus Application Modernization and Migration activities are focused on the IBM Lotus / Domino applications market and the offering spans from expert services and accelerator technologies to modernized, web enabled and migrated Lotus applications; and thus ultimately take the Lotus applications from legacy to the future. The foundation of the Modernizing/Migrating Suite Software offering is GBS’s significant R&D investment in a set of methodologies and key technology accelerators to automate the conversion of traditional Notes based client-server applications, into the IBM XPages framework which enables Domino applications to be run and accessed via the Lotus client, a web browser or on a mobile device. The patent-pending software that underpins Modernizing/Migrating was developed by GBS with assistance and guidance from IBM Corporation’s Software Group to ensure alignment with future releases of the IBM Lotus / Domino and XPages technology.

Revenue Model

GBS generates its revenue from the sale of internally created software, third-party developed software and the delivery of related services, including IT systems planning, administration, support, hosting, implementation and integration.

Strategy and Focus Areas

We see a high potential to achieve growth by successfully integrating our strategic portfolio with our core competences. Based on current market demands for modern, Cloud-based and mobile-device capable business applications, we have acquired and developed a set of unique technologies that help organizations reduce the time, cost, resources and risks associated with modernizing or migrating their existing applications.

We generate revenue with our cloud automation platform from subscription and usage fees and related services, including support and strategic consulting services. The subscription period is typically based on a yearly or multi-year contract with our customers. Additionally, we generate revenue from consulting around utilizing our cloud platform services.

Another sector of our strategic portfolio is a suite of tools and methodologies we have developed to rapidly convert Lotus Notes applications into web and mobile applications through automated conversion processes. This portfolio includes a set of powerful analysis tools known as Insights that identify all of the Lotus Notes applications within an organization and provide metrics about the uses and users of those applications. Because of the nature of Lotus Notes and Domino, the applications within a customer environment tend to be highly distributed and number in the thousands. For many organizations, this fact alone makes it extremely difficult to plan for projects that involve modernizing these applications for use in a browser and on mobile devices or migrating them to another platform. Our technologies help them to dramatically reduce the cost, risk, time and resources associated with these highly complex projects.

We generate revenue with our analysis tools by charging a fee for the use of our technology and for the associated cost of the services to produce a report and set of recommendations for the customer. Additional revenues come from consulting services that result from helping our customers to implement those recommendations. For use of our conversion tools, referred to as Modernizing/Migrating, we charge a flat fee for the conversion and additional hourly rates to perform additional supporting development or testing as needed.

We also believe there is significant revenue opportunity in licensing these tools to a network of global partners who also have existing presence and expertise in the Lotus Notes and Domino market. We have established partner agreements for the use of the analysis and conversion tools with partners in several countries and directly with IBM.

General Corporate History

We were incorporated in Nevada on March 20, 2007 as SWAV Enterprises Ltd. (“SWAV”). SWAV was an importer and wholesaler of Chinese manufactured goods.

About Lotus Holdings, Ltd.

Lotus is a holding company which was formed under the laws of Gibraltar for the purpose of financing merger and acquisition projects, specifically in the niche market of small or microcap companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with complex shareholder structures and whose stock is trading below one Euro (€1.00) per share.

SPPEFs

Lotus typically finances its merger and acquisition projects through the use of Special Purpose Private Equity Funds (“SPPEFs”). Typically, SPPEFs are funded by a company’s major shareholders (the “Major Shareholders”) seeking to raise capital for projects and who fund at least 50% of the SPPEF, with the remaining portion being provided through the investment community and network of investors in Lotus. Each SPPEF is co-managed by a representative of the company’s Major Shareholders (the “Representative Secretary”) and an attorney appointed by Lotus (the “Lotus Representative”).

On February 25, 2010, a group of shareholders (the “GROUP Major Shareholders”) of GROUP Software AG, a German public company trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “INW” (“GROUP”), engaged Lotus to provide financial consulting and advisory services, on a non-exclusive basis, for the primary task of establishing a SPPEF. On March 12, 2010, the GROUP Major Shareholders and Lotus established and funded a SPPEF with $1,400,000, consisting of $1,000,000 from the GROUP Major Shareholders and $400,000 from a Lotus investor (collectively, the “SPPEF Members”).

In early April 2010, the SPPEF Members decided to acquire SWAV. As disclosed above, on April 26, 2010, Lotus, on behalf of the SPPEF Members, acquired an aggregate of 11,984,770 shares of SWAV common stock from the selling shareholders of SWAV for an aggregate purchase price of $370,000. The 11,984,770 shares of SWAV common stock represented approximately 79.9% of the 15,000,000 outstanding shares of SWAV common stock on April 26, 2010. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the then executive officers and directors of SWAV resigned and Mr. Joerg Ott, the Chief Executive Officer of GROUP and a GROUP Major Shareholder, was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of SWAV and sole member of SWAV’s Board of Directors.

Transactions following the April 26, 2010 Acquisition

On November 1, 2010, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 3,043,985 of the 11,984,770 shares of the Company’s common stock originally purchased by Lotus on April 26, 2010. In consideration for the 3,043,985 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company issued to Lotus a Secured Demand Note, dated November 1, 2010 (the “First Demand Note”), for the principal amount of $300,000 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The First Demand Note was repaid in September 2011.

Effective December 30, 2010, pursuant to securities purchase agreements between the Company and six GROUP Major Shareholders, the Company purchased an aggregate of 7,115,500 shares of GROUP common stock from the six GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate for 3,043,985 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “December Transaction”). As a result, the Company owned approximately 28.2% of the outstanding common stock of GROUP.

Reverse Merger

After the December Transaction was completed, the additional GROUP Major Shareholders decided to accept the share swap offer from the Company and to effectuate a reverse merger of GROUP and the Company. To effectuate the reverse merger, on January 5, 2011, the Company repurchased from Lotus an aggregate of 2,361,426 of the 11,984,770 shares of the Company’s common stock originally purchased by Lotus on April 26, 2010. In consideration for these 2,361,426 shares, the Company issued to Lotus a Secured Demand Note, dated January 5, 2011 (the “Second Demand Note”), for the principal amount of $200,000 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The Second Demand Note was repaid in November 2011.

Effective January 6, 2011, pursuant to securities purchase agreements between the Company and the remaining GROUP Major Shareholders, the Company purchased an aggregate of 5,525,735 shares of GROUP common stock from the remaining GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate of 2,361,426 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “January Transaction”). The 5,525,735 GROUP shares represented approximately 21.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of GROUP. As a result of the December Transaction and January Transaction, the Company purchased an aggregate of 12,641,235 shares of GROUP from the GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate of 5,405,411 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in the Company owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding common stock of GROUP and effectuating a reverse merger of the Company and GROUP whereby GROUP became the accounting acquirer.

Additional Acquisitions

Overview of Cloud Computing Technology and Industry Trends

Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

IaaS providers have massive data centers that can handle the data run over the cloud, the largest of which is Amazon.com. IBM also participates in this business and hosts GROUP Live. PaaS providers offer the actual cloud platform that runs on the IaaS data centers and can deploy the applications (SaaS products).  Some of the leading PaaS providers include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure Services Platform, Google App Engine, and Rackspace Cloud, along with GBS’s GROUP Live products.  SaaS delivers applications on the cloud, which simplify product licensing and maintenance.  The SaaS market was first filled by a number of CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ERP (Enterprise Risk Management) and email applications but has spread into nearly all other types of software.  Leading providers in this space include Salesforce.com, Google and Zoho as well as IBM’s Lotus Live suite.  

Over the past five years, there has been a migration from on-premise hardware and software to cloud computing which allows companies to increase efficiency and reduce cost by paying for software and hardware use on a subscription basis.  In this model, IT managers are able to rent server capacity on an as-needed basis from a third party, instead of managing a data center on-premise, and purchasing up-to-date licenses for software based on real-time, instead of purchasing bundles of licenses or software and upgrading when updates are released.

Competition

The competitive landscape in the enterprise data center market is intense and changing, and we expect there will be a new class of very large, well-financed, and aggressive competitors, each bringing its own new class of products to address this new market. We also expect to see acquisitions, further industry consolidation, and new alliances among companies as they seek to serve the enterprise data center market.

The Company is focused on developing a portfolio of Cloud Computing software technologies and Application Services to address the needs of Independent Software Vendors (ISV), Data Center providers, as well as commercial and government organizations.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Other Income of $92,863 increased from Other Income of $64,916 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This includes income from investments of associated companies and other income.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012 the Company had $742,954 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $ 3,250,821 at December 31, 2011.

In March 2011, the Company consummated a private placement offering of an aggregate of 6,044,000 Units at a purchase price of $1.25 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $7,555,000.  Each Unit was comprised of one share of Common Stock and one three-year Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (“Private Placement Warrant”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Investor Warrants and corresponding exercise prices are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, dividend, recapitalization, reclassification and otherwise. The Private Placement Warrants are only exercisable by the payment of cash. Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants, the warrant holders are required to exercise their Private Placement Warrants in the event our Common Stock trades at an average of at least $3.00 per share for a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days. Also, throughout the three year exercise period of the Private Placement Warrants, the Company has the right to redeem the Warrants for $0.05 per share.

In March 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,020,000 warrants to five “accredited investors” pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (the “Investor Warrants”). Each Investor Warrant is exercisable for the three-year period commencing from the date of issuance for $0.50 per share of Common Stock and has the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants.

On April 9, 2012, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No: 333-180626) (the “Registration Statement”) therein registering the 6,044,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants and 2,020,000 underlying the Investor Warrants on behalf of the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”). As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Registration Statement has not been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC. The Company is in the process of amending the Registration Statement in response to the SEC’s most recent comments regarding the first amendment to the Registration Statement filed on July 19, 2012.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. It will, however, receive proceeds in the event the Private Placement Warrants and Investor Warrants are exercised by the Selling Stockholders. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Selling Stockholders have exercised an aggregate of 2,025,000 Private Placement Warrants and 900,000 Investor Warrants, for gross proceeds of $3,487,500. If the outstanding 4,019,000 Private Placement Warrants and 1,120,000 Investor Warrants are exercised, the Company will receive an aggregate of $6,588,500 in additional gross proceeds. However, there can be no assurance that any additional warrants will be exercised. To date, we have used the proceeds of the warrants already exercised for general corporate working capital purposes. We intend to use the proceeds from the exercise of any additional warrants for general corporate working capital purposes.

On April 16, 2012, the Company sold 120,000 Units to Joerg Ott, the then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, for a price of $1.50 per Unit, for a total purchase price of $180,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock of the Company and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company from the date of issuance until the third anniversary date of the date of issuance for $1.50 per share. The Company sold the Units and underlying securities to Mr. Ott in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act due to the fact that the issuance was isolated and did not involve a public offering of securities.

On April 28, 2012, $632,500 in notes payable to RealRisk Ventures, LLC (“RealRisk”) were converted into 550,000 shares of common stock and into a warrant as described below. On February 22, 2012, the Company had issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “RealRisk Note”) to RealRisk in the principal amount of $632,500 bearing interest at the rate of 4.5% per year and maturing on June 30, 2012. The Company issued the RealRisk Note pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act due to the fact that the issuance was isolated and did not involve a public offering of securities. The outstanding principal and interest under the RealRisk Note was convertible by the holder thereof into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of $1.15 per share prior to May 15, 2012. Under the RealRisk Note, if the holder converted such note prior to May 1, 2012, the Company would issue the holder a warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a period commencing on the date of issuance until the third anniversary date of the date of issuance for $1.75 per share.

On April 30, 2012, $ 632,500 in notes payable to Lotus Holdings Ltd. (“Lotus Holdings”) were converted into 550,000 shares of common stock and into a warrant as described below. On January 5, 2012, the Company had issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Lotus Note”) to Lotus Holdings for the principal amount of $500,000 bearing interest at the rate of 4.5% per year and maturing on June 30, 2012. The Company issued the Lotus Note pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act due to the fact that the issuance was isolated and did not involve a public offering of securities. The outstanding principal and interest under the Lotus Note was convertible by the holder thereof into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of $1.15 per share prior to May 15, 2012. Under the Lotus Note, if the holder converted such note prior to May 1, 2012, the Company would issue the holder a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a period commencing on the date of issuance until the third anniversary date of the date of issuance for $1.75 per share.

On May 10, 2012, the Company sold 30,000 Units to Markus R. Ernst, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, for a purchase price of $1.50 per Unit, for a total purchase price of $45,000. Each Unit consists of one share of Common Stock of the Company and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company from the date of issuance until the third anniversary date of the date of issuance for $1.50 per share. The Company sold the Units and underlying securities to Mr. Ernst in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act due to the fact that the issuance was isolated and did not involve a public offering of securities. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has not issued these 30,000 shares of Common Stock underlying under the Units but such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Ernst.

On May 15, 2012, the Company issued 150,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock to Kjell Jahn, the former selling stockholder of GroupWare, AG, a Florida corporation purchased by the Company in June 2011. The Company issued the shares in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act due to the fact that the issuance was isolated and did not involve a public offering of securities.

On August 13, 2012, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement with John A. Moore, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, and his spouse (collectively, the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Company sold a secured promissory note (the “Note”) to the Lender in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 bearing interest at a rate of 20% per year and maturing on the first anniversary date of the issuance with a 2% prepayment penalty. To secure the obligations of the Company under the Note, the Company granted the Lender a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable of the Company and its subsidiaries located in the United States of America on a one-for-one (1:1) basis.

In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, on August 13, 2012, the Company issued the Lender a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to which the Lender is entitled to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 until the third anniversary date of the date of issuance. The Warrant was issued in a private transaction between the Company and the Lender and was exempt from registration under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

In the future, the Company may supplement its liquidity to fund its operations or implement its business strategy through the sale of equity or debt securities or through short or long term loans. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in consummating any such financings on favorable terms, if at all.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows

Net Cash used by operating activities for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 was approximately $2.6 million compared to net cash used by operating activities for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 of approximately $ 3.5 million. This change is primarily due to cost cuts and aggressive collection management made by the Company. The cash used in investing activities during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 was approximately $2.5 million, compared to cash used in investing activities in the comparative period ending September 30, 2011 of approximately $6.6 million. This decrease was primarily from the sale of intangible assets of approximately $1.8 million and that no new investments were made in new businesses during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from approximately $ 4.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 to approximately $2.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to increase in loan to banks of approximately $1.0 million and a decrease from a debt to equity swap of $2.2 million in GROUP Business Software AG.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical Accounting Policies and 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.   The areas where critical estimates were made that have significant importance to the financial statements are as follows:

i. Allowance for doubtful accounts. The company provides for potential bad debts on an account-by-account basis. Bad debts have not been significant and our allowance has been accurate. Non-trade receivables are also scrutinized and allowed for based on expected recovery.

ii. Allocation of the price paid when acquiring subsidiaries.  When the Company acquires subsidiary companies an allocation of the purchase is required.  The allocation is based on management’s analysis of the value of the net assets, and is based on estimated future cash flows that each component will produce.  Such components might include software, customer lists and other intangible assets that are not readily determinable.  The allocation has a significant impact on the future earnings of the Company as certain assets, customer lists for example, must be amortized and charged to operations over time, while other assets, notably goodwill, does not.

iii. Impairment testing on intangibles and goodwill.  As noted in more detail below, these areas involve numerous estimates as to expected cash flows, expected rates of return and other factors that are difficult to determine and are often out of the Company’s direct control.  

iv. Valuation of deferred tax credits.  The Company provides an allowance for tax recoveries arising from the application of losses carried forward.  An allowance is provided where management has determined that it is less than likely that the loss will be applied and income taxes recovered.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted FASB Codification topic (“ASC”) 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability. Since inception, the Company’s other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments and small net actuarial losses on pension plans.

Net Income per Common Share

FASB Codification topic (“ASC”) 260, Earnings per share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive. Accordingly, although the diluted weighted average number of common stock outstanding is disclosed on the statements of operation, the calculated net loss per share is the same for bother basic and diluted as both are based on the basic weighted average of common stock outstanding. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financial assets, notes payable, liabilities to banks, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities.  As of the financial statement date, the Company does not hold any derivate financial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are measured upon first recognition and reviewed at the financial statement date.  Changes in fair value are recognized through profit and loss.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Currency Risk

We use the US dollar as our reporting currency.  The functional currencies of our significant foreign subsidiaries are the local currency, which includes the Euro, the British pound, the Bulgarian lev and the Indian rupee.  Accordingly, some assets and liabilities are incurred in those currencies and we are subject to foreign currency risks.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB Codification topic (ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

The Company has adopted (ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Pursuant to ASC 330 (Inventories), inventories held for sale are recognized under inventories. Inventories were measured at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in-first out basis, without any overhead component.

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets predominately include goodwill, acquired software and capitalized software development. Intangible assets acquired in exchange for payment are reflected at acquisition costs. If the development costs can be capitalized per ASC 985-20-25, these are reflected as ascribable personnel and overhead costs.

Company created software can be intended for sale to third parties or used by the Company itself. If the conditions for capitalization are not met, the expenses are recorded with their effect on profit in the year in which they were incurred.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life to the estimated residual book value in accordance with ASC regulations. In addition, in special circumstances according to ASC 350-30, a recoverability test is performed and, if applicable, unscheduled amortization is considered.

The useful life of acquired software is between three and five years and three years for Company-designed software.

Intangible assets obtained as part of an acquisition which do not meet the criteria for a separate entry are identified as goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed once a year during an impairment test, whereby the appraised fair value of the invested capital of the reporting unit, is compared with the carrying (book) value of its invested capital amount (including goodwill.) Use value is generally applied in order to determine the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The projected financial plan prepared by the management serves as the basis for this determination of use value and the planning assumptions are each adjusted for the current state of knowledge. Reasonable assumptions regarding macroeconomic trends and historical developments are taken into account in making these adjustments. Future estimated cash flows are determined based on the expected growth rates of the markets in question.

If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the appraised fair value, the impairment based on use value measures the amount of loss, if any, and an unscheduled amortization expense is recorded. If the appraised value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition or manufacturing costs, reduced by scheduled and, if necessary, unscheduled depreciation. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, prorated over their expected useful life. Scheduled depreciation is mainly based on useful lives of 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated up to 40 years.

If fixed assets are sold, retired or scrapped, the profit or loss arising from the difference between the net sales proceeds and the residual book value are included under other operating earnings and expenses.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC topic, 360.10. This guidance requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its’ expected cash flows or appraised value In this instance, the asset is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value.

Revenue Recognition

License Revenues

Our license revenues consist of revenues earned from the licensing of our software products. These products are generally licensed on a perpetual basis. Pricing models have generally been based either upon the physical infrastructure, such as the number of physical desktop computers or servers, on which our software runs or on a per user basis. License revenues are recognized when the elements of revenue recognition for the licensed software are complete, generally upon electronic shipment of the software and the software key to provide full access to all functionalities for our customers. In general our invoices reflect license, service and maintenance components. In the case of multi element contracts, the revenues allocated to the software license in most cases represent the residual amount of the contract after the fair value of the other elements has been determined. Certain products of our software offering are licensed on a subscription basis.

Software Maintenance Revenues

Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably on a pro-rata basis over the range of the contract period. Our contract periods typically range from one to five years. Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for software maintenance services is established by the rates charged in stand-alone sales of software maintenance contracts or the stated renewal rate for software maintenance. Customers who are party to software maintenance agreements with us are entitled to receive support, product updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis.

Professional Services Revenues

Professional services include pre-project consulting, software design, customization, project management, implementation and training. Professional services are not considered essential to the functionality of our products, as these services do not alter the product capabilities and may be performed by our customers or by other vendors. Professional services engagements performed for a fixed fee, for which we are able to make reasonably dependable estimates of progress toward completion, are recognized on a proportional performance basis based on hours incurred and estimated hours of completion. Professional services engagements that are on a time and materials basis are recognized based on hours incurred. Revenues on all other professional services engagements are recognized upon completion. Our professional services may be sold with software products or on a stand-alone basis. Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) of fair value for professional services is based upon the standard rates we charge for such services when sold separately.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is US dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of GROUP were translated into US dollars. Assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity was translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Other Provisions

According to FASB ASC 450 Contingencies, provisions are made whenever there is a current obligation to third parties resulting from a past event which is likely in the future to lead to an outflow of resources and of which the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions not already resulting in an outflow of resources in the following year are recognized at their discounted settlement amount on the financial statement date. The discount taken is based on market interest rates. The settlement amount also includes the expected cost increases. Provisions are not set off against contribution claims. If the amended estimate leads to a reduction of the obligatory amount, the provision is proportionally reversed and the earnings are recognized in other operating earnings.

Deferred Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with FASB Codification topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry forwards.

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 asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. With the objective of reducing the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-loved asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having the likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed beginning April 1, 2013. Adoption of this new standard is not expected to have significant impact to the Company’s financial statement.

Principles of Consolidation and Reverse Acquisition

As previously disclosed, the Company originally exchanged a total of 5,405,411 shares of common stock in exchange for 50.1% of the outstanding common shares of GROUP (and retained its 50.1% shareholding by acquiring an additional 883,765 shares of GROUP on February 27, 2012). Although the Company was the legal acquirer, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of GROUP in the form of a reverse merger, whereby GROUP became the accounting acquirer and was deemed to have retroactively adopted the capital structure of the Corporation. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of GROUP for all periods presented, and do not include the historical financial statements of the Company. All costs associated with the reverse merger transaction were expensed as incurred. Those expenses totaled approximately $300,000 and were included in professional fees in administrative expenses.

The Company has based its financial reporting for the consolidation with GROUP in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805-40 as it relates to reverse acquisitions. Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred by the Company, the acquiree, for financial reporting purposes, over the net amount of the Company’s recognized identifiable assets and liabilities.

We have recorded the acquired assets and liabilities of GBSX on the acquisition date of January 6, 2011, at their fair value and the operations of GBSX have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The assets and liabilities of GROUP, the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their precombination carrying amounts in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-2(a). Therefore, in a reverse acquisition, the non-controlling interest reflects the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate interest in the pre-combination carrying amounts of GROUP’s net assets even though the non-controlling interests in other acquisitions are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

None

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2012.

Prior to this filing our disclosure controls and procedures and, in annual reports, our internal controls over financial reporting were not fully effective due to limited knowledge of U.S. GAAP by our accounting and reporting departments at the time of the original filings. Effective with the filing of this FORM 10-Q we changed our Internal Controls over financial Reporting to be fully compliant with PCAOB and U.S. GAAP regulations.

On September 19, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company changed the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31, beginning December 31, 2012.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of September 30, 2012 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company issued a secured promissory note, dated October 26, 2012 (the “Note”), to the Lender in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, bearing an annual interest rate of 20% and maturing on the earlier of the first anniversary date of the date of issuance or such other time as described in more detail in the Note, without any penalty for prepayment. To secure the obligations of the Company under the Note, the Company granted the Lender a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the shares of IDC Global, Inc. owned by the Company. The Note contains customary provisions upon an Event of Default, as more fully described in the full text of the document.

In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, on October 26, 2012, the Company issued the Lender a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to which the Lender is entitled to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 until the third anniversary date of the date of issuance. The Warrant was issued in a private transaction between the Company and the Lender and was exempt from registration under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

On October 29, 2012, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Intercompany Loan Agreement”) with GROUP. Pursuant to the Intercompany Loan Agreement, GROUP issued a promissory note, dated October 29, 2012 (the “GROUP Note”), to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $145,000, bearing an annual interest rate of 20% and maturing on the first anniversary date of the date of issuance, without any penalty for prepayment. The Intercompany Loan Agreement contains restrictions that require GROUP to use the proceeds of the GROUP Note solely (i) to pay the payroll of GROUP Business Software Corp., due October 29, 2012, and (ii) for such other purposes as the parties to the Intercompany Loan Agreement may agree from time to time. The GROUP Note contains customary provisions upon an Event of Default, as more fully described in the full text of the document.
