RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
On August
24, 2009, the “Company” along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, NetFabric
Technologies, Inc., d/b/a UCA Services, Inc. (“UCA”) and Fortify Infrastructure
Services, Inc. (“Fortify) entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”) to the
Option and Purchase Agreement (“Option Agreement”) in connection with the
closing of Fortify’s purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of UCA
upon exercise of its option granted under the Option Agreement. Pursuant to the
Amendment, among other things, the Secured Convertible
Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5 million issued by UCA to Fortify
was cancelled, releases of certain obligations of the parties were granted as
specified in the Amendment , and the commencement date and measurement period
for the earn-out and bonuses provided for in the Option Agreement were
modified.
After the
divesture of UCA, the Company does not have any operations.
On March
13, 2009, the Company along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, UCA entered into a
Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2009 with Fortify. Pursuant
to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, Fortify purchased a Secured
Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) from UCA in the principal amount of $5
million with the Company being a guarantor for UCA’s borrowings. Fortify, UCA
and the Company also entered into the Option Agreement. Pursuant to the Option
Agreement, Fortify has an option to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of UCA.
The holders of a majority of
the Company’s outstanding common stock had previously approved the terms of the
Option Agreement by a written consent as detailed in the Company’s Definitive
Schedule 14 C Information Statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 9, 2009.
ITEM
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 31, 1989 as Houston Operating
Company. On December 9, 2004, we acquired NetFabric Corporation ("NetFabric
Corp.") and on April 19, 2005, we changed our name to NetFabric Holdings, Inc.
On May 20, 2005, we acquired UCA.
We are
now organized into two distinct divisions. NetFabric Holdings, Inc. is the
holding company that houses the finance and administrative functions and is
responsible for financing transactions and regulatory compliance activities. UCA
provides IT services and solutions to a wide range of clients in the financial
industry as well as the pharmaceutical, healthcare and hospitality
sectors.
NetFabric
Corp. Acquisition
On
December 9, 2004, we entered into an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition
Agreement") with all of the stockholders of NetFabric Corp. At the closing,
which occurred simultaneously with the execution of the Acquisition Agreement,
we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NetFabric Corp.
from the stockholders in exchange for an aggregate of 32,137,032 newly-issued
shares of our common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse
merger whereby NetFabric Corp. was treated as the acquirer. NetFabric Corp. was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 17, 2002, as a new corporation
and not as a result of a material reclassification, merger, consolidation,
purchase or divesture.
Prior to
our acquisition of NetFabric Corp., we did not have any operations, and we were
a shell company whose primary business objective was to merge and become public.
Immediately prior to the NetFabric Corp. acquisition, our directors were Wesley
F. Whiting and Redgie Green. Our officers were, Wesley F. Whiting - President
and Redgie Green - Secretary. The directors of NetFabric Corp. were Jeff
Robinson (Chairman), Richard Howard and Charlotte Denenberg. The officers of
NetFabric Corp. were, Jeff Robinson - Chief Executive Officer, Walter Carozza -
Chief Financial Officer, Philip Barak - Vice President of Finance, and Victoria
Desidero - Vice President of Marketing.

UCA
Acquisition
On May
20, 2005, we entered into and closed on a share exchange agreement, whereby we
purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of UCA from its shareholders
in exchange for the issuance of 24,096,154 shares of our common
stock.
On
February 13, 2006, we entered into an agreement with UCA to amend the terms of
the share exchange agreement between the Company and the UCA shareholders, dated
May 20, 2005. Pursuant to the amendment, we issued an aggregate of nine million
shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of UCA. In return, the
former shareholders of UCA released the Company from the capital raising
covenant of the share exchange agreement. To facilitate the transaction, Mr.
Jeff Robinson, our Chief Executive Officer, surrendered nine million shares of
our common stock owned by him.

Discontinued
Operations
NetFabric
Corp. provided hardware and services to small to mid-sized businesses ("SMBs")
that utilized the Internet for telephone communications or Voice over Internet
Protocol ("VoIP"). NetFabric Corp. developed and marketed appliances, or
Customer Premises Equipment ("CPE") that simplified the integration of standard
telephone systems with an IP infrastructure. With minimal revenues from VoIP
operations, we concluded that we could not implement our original business for
VoIP operations within our resources or with the additional capital we could
raise in the near term. On May 5, 2006, our Board of Directors decided that the
Company should exit from the hardware-based VoIP communications product line
(including resale of transport services) targeted at SMBs. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", ("SFAS No. 144"), the results of
operations from the VoIP business segment have been reclassified as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. After the discontinuation of VoIP
operations, our only operations are that of UCA, which are discussed in more
detail in Item 6 below.
Our
Services
We served
the information and communications needs of a wide range of Fortune 500 and SMB
clients in the financial markets industry, as well as the pharmaceutical, health
care and hospitality sectors. Our broad range of services included (i) Managed
Services (ii) Professional Services (iii) IT Infrastructure & Communications
Services and Maintenance, and (iv) Application Development and
Maintenance.
Managed
Services
In
Managed Services, we served clients seeking to outsource management of some or
all of their IT applications. As a result, their internal management and staff
are able to focus on projects that create and foster initiatives leading to a
competitive advantage for their company. Our services in this area included data
center services, help desk and facilities management. We also provided a fully
managed suite for storage management, information protection (backup and
recovery) and information optimization (archival services) from the data center
to the desktop.
Professional
Services
We
provided a wide range of IT staffing services to clients in diversified vertical
markets, including financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing,
information technology, pharmaceutical, transportation and health care.
Consultative and staffing resources may be used to undertake a role on a
long-term strategic project or fill a short-term need for a technology skill
set. We delivered qualified consultants and project managers for contract
assignments and full-time employment across many technology disciplines. Areas
of expertise included project management, business analysis, systems
architecture and design, database architecture and design, application code
development, network engineering, quality assurance and testing.
IT
Infrastructure & Communications Services
We
provided customers with IT infrastructure (such as personal computers, printers,
phone systems, networks, servers and switches) design, development, deployment
services from project planning and implementation to full-scale network, server
and workstation installations. We also provided an end-to-end solution for
automating the deployment/version upgrades of desktop and server operating
systems, including the associated packaging required to migrate a client's
enterprise applications to computers across an organization quickly and
reliably.
-3-
Application
Development and Maintenance
We helped
organizations plan, develop, integrate and manage custom applications software,
packaged software and industry-specific software solutions. We offered
applications development and maintenance-support solutions for our customers,
including shared risk engagements and fully outsourced projects, managed quality
assurance and testing services, including functional testing, compatibility
tests, performance testing, regression testing and benchmarking. Benefits to
clients using these services can include reduced costs, extended value of
technology investments, information sharing and enhanced ability to adapt to
market changes.
Sales
and Marketing
We sold
our IT services through a direct sales force located principally in the New York
area. These sales associates, also known as client executives, were supported by
sales support personnel. We had approximately 10 sales associates and sales
support personnel selling our IT services. We also had independent sales agents
(non-employees), who sell our services on a commission basis. In addition, three
large providers of software and solutions services marketed our services as a
part of their sales effort to their customers where our services are part of an
overall package. Our marketing strategy was to develop long-term partnership
relationships with existing and new clients that will lead to us becoming a
preferred provider of information technology services. We sought to employ a
cross-selling approach, where appropriate, to expand the number of services
utilized by a single client.
Competition
The
information technology services industry is highly competitive and served by
numerous international, national, regional and local firms, all of which are our
existing or potential competitors. Our primary competitors were software
consulting and implementation firms, applications software firms, service groups
of computer equipment companies, general management consulting firms,
programming companies, offshore firms and temporary staffing firms, as well as
the internal information technology staff of our clients. We believed that the
principal competitive factors in the information technology services industry
include the range of services offered, cost, technical expertise, responsiveness
to client needs, speed in delivering information technology solutions, quality
of service and perceived value. A critical component of our ability to compete
in the marketplace was our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain
skilled professionals. We believed that we can compete favorably in hiring such
personnel by offering competitive compensation packages and attractive
assignment opportunities. Many of our competitors had stronger brand recognition
and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources
than we did. Our share of the market compared to theirs was too small to
quantify.
Seasonality
Our
business can be affected by the seasonal fluctuations in corporate IT
expenditures. Generally, expenditures were lowest during the first quarter of
the year when our clients are finalizing their IT budgets. In addition, our
quarterly results fluctuated depending on, among other things, the number of
billing days in a quarter and the seasonality of our clients' businesses. Our
business was also affected by the timing of holidays and seasonal vacation
patterns, generally resulting in lower revenues and gross margins in the fourth
quarter of each year. In addition, we experienced an increase in our cost of
sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit and gross margin in the first
quarter of each year as a result of resetting certain state and federal
employment tax salary limitations.
Major
Customers/ Clients
We
currently derived a significant portion of our service revenue from a limited
number of corporate clients. Our two largest clients for the year ended December
31, 2008 accounted for 49% and 14%, respectively, of our revenues. The volume of
work we performed for specific clients may vary from year to year, particularly
since we typically were not the only outside service provider for our clients.
Thus, a major client in one year may not provide the same level of revenue in a
subsequent year. In certain cases, clients have reduced their spending on IT
services due to economic conditions and consequently have reduced the volume of
business from us.
-4-
Employees
As of
December 31, 2008, we have 110 employees, including 24 employees and 86 billable
consultants. We have 10 employees in sales, 8 in service/products delivery
management, and 6 in executive and administrative positions. In addition to the
84 billable consultants who are employees, we utilize the services of
approximately 100 to 125 billable independent contractors.
As of
April 1, 2008, we have not filed annual, quarterly or periodic with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Prior to April 1, 2008, we filed
annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").The public may read and
copy any materials that we have filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference
Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that contains the
reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding the
Company that we have filed electronically with the SEC. The address of the SEC's
Internet site is http://www.sec.gov.

7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The
following discussion and analysis and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in
this report and reports included herein by reference. The following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and
beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in their report,
dated May 11, 2009, on our December 31, 2008 financial statements since we have
experienced net losses since inception and have a working capital deficiency
their report indicates that these matters raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. Our plan with regard to this matter is
discussed elsewhere in this document. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
CORPORATE
HISTORY
We were
formerly known as Houston Operating Company and were incorporated in Delaware on
August 31, 1989. On December 9, 2004, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement
with all of the stockholders of NetFabric Corp., a Delaware corporation.
NetFabric Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on December 17, 2002 and began
operations in July 2003. At the closing, which occurred simultaneously with the
execution of the Acquisition Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of NetFabric Corp. from the stockholders in exchange
for an aggregate of 32,137,032 newly-issued shares of our common stock. The
acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger whereby NetFabric Corp. was
treated as the acquirer. On April 19, 2005, our name was changed from Houston
Operating Company to NetFabric Holdings, Inc. and our stock symbol was changed
from "HOOC" to "NFBH."
UCA
SERVICES, INC. ACQUISITION
On May
20, 2005, we entered into and closed on a share exchange agreement, whereby we
purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of UCA Services, Inc., a New
Jersey company (“UCA Services”) from its shareholders in exchange for the
issuance of 24,096,154 shares of our common stock. UCA Services is an IT
services and solutions company that serves the information needs of a wide range
of Fortune 500 clients in the financial markets industry and the pharmaceutical,
health care and hospitality sectors. UCA Services delivers a broad range of IT
services in managed services, professional services, infrastructure building and
maintenance, application development and maintenance areas. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with UCA Service’s results
of operations included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition.
DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
Prior to
acquiring NetFabric Corp., Houston Operating Company did not have any
operations, and we were a shell company whose primary business objective was to
merge and become public. NetFabric Corp. was a provider of hardware and services
to small to mid-sized businesses ("SMBs") that utilized the Internet for
telephone communications or Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP"). It developed
and marketed appliances or Customer Premises Equipment ("CPE") that simplified
the integration of standard telephone systems with an IP infrastructure. In
addition, NetFabric Corp resold transport services of a third party VoIP
transport provider.
Our
operations, prior to the UCA Services acquisition, consisted of developing VoIP
appliances, including research and product development activities. We also hired
additional personnel for sales and marketing and developed our sales and
marketing programs.
-8-
With
minimal revenues from VoIP operations, we concluded that we could not implement
our original business plan for VoIP operations within our resources or with the
additional capital we could raise in the near term. On May 5, 2006, our Board of
Directors decided that the Company should exit the hardware-based VoIP
communications product line (including resale of transport services) that is
targeted to SMBs. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(‘SFAS’) No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", ("SFAS No. 144"), the results of operations from the VoIP business
segment has been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods
presented. After the discontinuation of VoIP operations, our only operations are
that of UCA Services.
OVERVIEW
OF UCA SERVICES BUSINESS
UCA
Services derived revenues primarily from managed IT services, professional
services, application development services and business process management
services. Service arrangements with customers were generally on a time and
material basis or fixed-price, fixed-timeframe revenue basis. UCA Services
principal operating expenses were direct employee costs, consultant expenses and
selling, general and administrative expenses. The principal components of
selling, general and administrative expenses were salaries of sales and support
personnel, and office rent. Direct employee costs and consultant expenses were
comprised primarily of the costs of consultant labor, including employees,
subcontractors and independent contractors, and related employee benefits.
Approximately 50% of our consultants were employees and the remainder are
subcontractors and independent contractors.
We
compensated most of our consultants only for the hours that we bill to our
clients for projects undertaken, which allowed us to better match our labor
costs with our revenue generation. With respect to our consultant employees, we
were responsible for employment-related taxes, medical and health care costs and
workers' compensation. Labor costs were sensitive to shifts in the supply and
demand of IT professionals, as well as increases in the costs of benefits and
taxes.
As
previously noted, the December 9, 2004 acquisition of NetFabric Corp. was
accounted for as a reverse merger whereby NetFabric Corp. was treated as the
acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of NetFabric Corp.
have been presented for all periods required. NetFabric Corp. began operations
in January 2003 and was a development stage company until the UCA acquisition.
The UCA acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
with the results of the operations included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Comparison
of Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:
Revenues
Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by $8,005,152 or 49.3% over the
prior year. The increases in revenues were due to new projects undertaken in
2008. We anticipate that our revenues will decrease for fiscal year 2009 due to
non-renewal or termination of certain projects undertaken in 2008.
Direct
employee compensation and consultant expenses.
Excluding
non-cash share based compensation, for the year ended December 31, 2008, our
direct employee compensation and consultant expenses increased by $6,553,861, or
52.5% to $19,036,780. The increase was due to increased revenues in 2008.
Excluding non-cash share based compensation as a percentage of revenues, our
direct employee compensation and consultant expenses were for the year
ended December 31 2008, 78.6%, compared to 76.9% for the year ended December 31,
2007. The increase in employee compensation and consultant expenses as a
percentage of revenues was due to the nature of projects performed in
2008.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses
Excluding
non-cash share based compensation, our selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 by $869,620, or 18.7%,
to $3,793,064. The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses
in 2008 compared to 2007 was, in part, due to expense reductions implemented in
the third quarter of 2007. During the year ended December 31 2007, we incurred
approximately $162,000 in expenses ($240,000 including the fair value of shares
of common stock issued) for an acquisition of an entity and the related
financing, which was terminated and the entire amount incurred was charged
to operations during the year ended December 31, 2007.
Amortization
of debt discount
Amortization
of debt discount for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by $5,289, or
0.7%, from $758,011 to $763,300. At December 31, 2008, the aggregate unamortized
debt discount was $91,862, which will be amortized and charged to operations
over the term of the respective debt.

Depreciation
and amortization
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, depreciation and amortization decreased by
$29,516, or 9.3%, from $316,938 to $287,422.

approximately $628,000 fees in connection with the Company’s short term
borrowing during the year ended December 31, 2008, which was charged to
operation. In 2007, we incurred approximately $282,000 in fees. The increase was
due to increased duration of borrowings in 2008.
Interest
expense
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, interest expense increased by $57,519, or 18.3%,
to $372,654 from $315,135. The increase was due to additional interest payable
to Laurus due to different terms negotiated with Laurus.
Debt
inducement costs
In August
2007, we entered into an Agreement to Convert (the “Agreement”) with Fred Nazem,
a stockholder. Pursuant to this Agreement, Mr. Nazem agreed to convert $218,882
due to him in outstanding convertible debentures and accrued interest ($18,882)
into 5,472,050 shares of common stock, including 4,900,394 shares as an
inducement for conversion. The fair value of the inducement to convert
approximated $539,000 and was charged to operations during the year ended
December 31, 2007 as debt inducement costs.
Goodwill
impairment
Pursuant
to SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets,” (“SFAS No. 142”), the
Company performed its annual testing of goodwill impairment for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2007. As a part of goodwill impairment testing,
management reviewed various factors, such as the market price of the Company’s
common stock, discounted cash flows from projected earnings and values of
comparable companies to determine whether impairment exists. Based on this
evaluation it was determined that the goodwill was impaired. The
impairment was due to a continued decline in our market
capitalization during the year ended December 31, 2007 and due
to lower future cash flows expected to be generated by the business due to
working capital constraints. The implied value of the goodwill was $10,585,000
compared to a carrying value of $13,982,451, indicating an impairment of
$3,397,451. The impairment loss was charged to operations during the three
months ended June 30, 2007.
The
Company evaluated its business conditions and future strategic direction
including the delisting of its common shares from trading on the Bulletin Board
(“OTCBB”) and concluded that an interim testing of goodwill is warranted at
December 31, 2007. As a part of the interim goodwill impairment testing,
management reviewed various factors and used a market approach (comparison of
financial data for publicly traded companies engaged in similar lines of
business) to determine whether impairment exists. Based on this evaluation, it
was determined that the goodwill was impaired. The impairment was, in part, due
to decreased values of comparable companies. The implied value of goodwill was
$5,704,000 compared to a carrying value of $10,585,000, indicating an impairment
of $4,881,000. The additional impairment loss was charged to operations during
the three months ended December 31, 2007. In total an impairment loss of
$8,278,451 was charged to operations during the year ended December 31,
2007.
Discontinued
Operations
On May 5,
2006, our Board decided to exit from the hardware-based VoIP communications
product line (including resale of transport services) that is targeted to SMBs.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, (“SFAS No.
144”), the results of operations from the VoIP business segment has been
reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, loss from discontinued operations decreased to $0 from
$53,398 in the prior year. Revenues from VoIP operations have been nominal in
all periods presented and operating expenses are the losses
reported.
Net
loss
As a
result of the foregoing, for the year ended December 31, 2008, net loss
decreased by $10,890,318, or 92.2%, to a loss of $920,292, compared to a net
loss of $11,810,610 in the year ended December 31, 2007.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On
December 31, 2008, our working capital deficiency was $6,212,328, compared to a
working capital deficiency of $4,937,149 on December 31, 2007. The increase in
the working capital deficiency was, in part, due to reclassification of
convertible note due in February 2009 as a current liability. During the year
ended December 31, 2008, our operating activities from continuing operations
provided approximately $1,973,000 of cash, compared to approximately
$266,000 used during the year ended December 31, 2007.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, our operating losses, after adjusting for
non-cash items, provided approximately $1,072,000 of cash, and working capital
items provided approximately $901,000 of cash. The principal component of these
working capital changes was an increase in our deferred revenue offset by an
increase in accounts receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2007, our
operating losses, after adjusting for non-cash items, utilized approximately
$1,237,000 of cash, and working capital items provided approximately $971,000 of
cash.
In
July 2007, we sold an aggregate of 11,250,000 shares of our common stock, par
value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”) to four investors, for an aggregate purchase
price of $450,000, including $100,000 from Fred Nazem, a stockholder of the
Company.
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, we borrowed an aggregate of $1,170,00 from
five individuals, including $50,000 from a officer and director and repaid
$200,000 of that prior to December 31, 2007. The amount outstanding as of
December 31, 2007 is $970,000 and is due at various dates between January and
February 2008. In January and February 2008, we repaid an aggregate amount of
$620,000. The borrowings are unsecured and bear nominal interest. The Company
paid financing costs of $267,005 to third parties and lenders and this amount is
being amortized over the term of the borrowings. In 2007, $267,005 was charged
to operations as amortization of debt issuance costs. With respect to the
borrowings from the officer and director the Company did not pay any financing
costs.
In
connection with the borrowings, we issued the lenders warrants to acquire an
aggregate of 890,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants expire in three
years from the date of issuance. The relative fair value of the warrants
approximated $68,668 and was recorded as additional discount and is being
amortized over the borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $68,668, of
debt discount was accreted and recorded as amortization of debt discounts. With
respect to the borrowings from the officer and director, the Company did not
issue any warrants.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we borrowed an aggregate of $1,110,000 from
four individuals and repaid $510,000 of that prior to December 31, 2008. The
borrowings included $150,000 from an officer and director and the amount was
repaid prior to December 31, 2008. The aggregate amount of 2007 and 2008 short
term borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2008 is $950,000. The borrowings
outstanding at December 31, 2008 are due at various dates between January and
February 2009. The borrowings are unsecured and bear nominal
interest.
The
Company paid financing costs of $627,873 to third parties and lenders and this
amount is being amortized over the term of the borrowings. During the year ended
December 31, 2008, $627,873 was charged to operations as amortization of debt
issuance costs. With respect to the borrowings from the officer and director, we
did not pay any financing costs. The Company repaid all the amounts due at
December 31, 2008 subsequent to the year end.
In
February 2006, we along with our subsidiaries, entered into a Security
Agreement, dated February 10, 2006 ( the "Security Agreement") with Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company ("Laurus"). Under the Security
Agreement, Laurus purchased from the Company a Secured Convertible Note (the
"Laurus Convertible Note"), with a maturity date of February 10, 2009, in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000, and a Secured Non-Convertible
Revolving Note (the "Laurus Revolving Note") in the aggregate principal amount
of $1,500,000. In 2009, the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2009.The
Laurus Convertible Note and Laurus Revolving Note are collectively referred to
as the "Laurus Notes". Availability under the Laurus Notes is based on an
advance rate equal to 90% of eligible accounts receivable, and Laurus has agreed
to provide us an over advance for a specified period. The Laurus Convertible
Note has a three-year term, and bears interest at 1% above the prime rate, with
a minimum interest rate of 8%. Laurus has the option, but not the obligation, at
any time until the maturity date, to convert all or any portion of the Laurus
Convertible Note and accrued interest thereon into shares of our common stock at
an exercise price of $0.91 per share. If converted in full, we would be
obligated to issue an aggregate of 1,648,352 shares of our common stock to
Laurus. We have the option to prepay the Laurus Convertible Note by paying
Laurus the applicable redemption premium. The Laurus Revolving Note has a
three-year term, and bears interest at 1% above the prime rate, with a minimum
interest rate of 8%.
-11-
In
connection with the borrowing, we issued to Laurus a common stock purchase
option (the "Option") to purchase up to 4,256,550 shares of our common stock for
nominal consideration. Additionally, we entered into a registration rights
agreement with Laurus (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), covering the
registration of common stock underlying the Laurus Convertible Note and the
Option. Our obligations under the Laurus Notes are secured by first liens on all
of our assets, and Laurus may accelerate all obligations under the Laurus Notes
upon an event of default.
Our
initial borrowing was approximately $2,300,000 and we utilized approximately
$1,900,000 of the initial borrowing to repay all amounts owed to Cornell
pursuant to the October Convertible Debenture, including a redemption premium.
At December 31, 2008, borrowing with Laurus was approximately $2,919,263 (face
amount).
In
October 2007, we entered into an extensions agreement with Laurus (the
“Extension Agreement’). The Extension Agreement provides for the extension of
the over advance feature until February 2009. However, the over advance amount
will reduce by $5,000 each month from November 2007 to February 2008 and by
$50,000 each month from March of 2008.
In 2008,
we and Laurus entered into two waiver/ amendment agreements, pursuant to which
Laurus waived our non compliance of certain terms of the Security Agreement
including our decision to stop periodic filing reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In exchange for the waivers, we issued Laurus 1,000,000
shares of our common stock. In addition, we agreed to pay Laurus additional
interest of 3.5% on the outstanding loan balance from June 1, 2008. The
additional interest will be payable to Laurus upon maturity of the credit
facility in March 2009.
In 2006,
we sold eight Convertible Debentures (the " 2006 Convertible Debentures") in the
face amount of $800,000 to six individuals (the "Debenture Holders" or a
"Debenture Holder") including $150,000 face value to an officer and director,
and $50,000 face value to a stockholder of the Company. In 2006, we repaid one
2006 Convertible Debenture in the face amount of $100,000. The Company and the
Debenture holders agreed to extension of the term of duration by months on two
occasions in 2006. In January and February 2007, we repaid five of the seven
2006 Convertible Debentures in the aggregate face amount of $500,000. In
December 2006, we agreed with the officer and director and the stockholders to
extend the term of two of 2006 Convertible Debentures in the face amount of
$200,000 to April 30, 2007. The term of the Convertible Debenture due to the
officer and director was extended to December 31, 2007 was repaid in 2008. In
August 2007, we and the stockholder entered into an agreement to convert $50,000
face amount of 2006 Convertible Debentures into shares of the Company’s common
stock as described below.
On June
8, 2006, we sold a Convertible Debenture in the face amount of $150,000 to a
stockholder (the "Stockholder Convertible Debenture"). In August 2007, we
entered into an Agreement to Convert (the “Agreement”) with Fred Nazem, a
stockholder. Pursuant to this Agreement, the stockholder agreed to convert
$218,882 due to him in outstanding convertible debentures and accrued interest
of $18,882 into 5,472,050 shares of common stock, which includes 4,900,394
shares as an inducement for conversion. The principal amount of $200,000
consisted of $150,000 of Stockholder Convertible Debenture and $50,000 of 2006
Convertible Debenture. The fair value of the inducement to convert approximated
$539,000 and was charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2007
as debt extinguishment costs.
We
evaluated several options for obtaining financing to fund our working capital
requirements and to retire our debt upon maturity. We had approximately $3.8
million debt that was due in the first quarter of 2009. After several
discussions and negotiations, we concluded that the most viable option would be
to sell the operations of UCA Services. This would not only provide us financing
but also enable UCA Services to grow to its optimal potential with appropriate
financial backing.
On March
12, 2009, we along with our wholly-owned subsidiary, NetFabric Technologies,
Inc., d/b/a UCA Services, Inc. (“UCA”) entered into a Convertible Note Purchase
Agreement with Fortify Infrastructure Services, Inc. (“Fortify). Pursuant to the
Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, Fortify purchased a Secured Convertible
Promissory Note (the “Note”) from UCA in the principal amount of $5 million with
the Company being a guarantor for UCA’s borrowings.
The Note
has a six-month term, and bears interest at 8% per annum, compounded annually.
The Note is secured by (i) all of the assets of
UCA and the Company, and (ii) all of the equity securities of UCA currently
owned or hereafter acquired by the Company. At the exclusive option of Fortify,
Fortify may convert the entire principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, the Note into shares of Series A Preferred Stock of UCA. The
conversion price shall be at a price equal to the price per share reflecting a
valuation of UCA equal to $5 million, on an as-converted basis.
Fortify,
UCA and the Company also entered into a Credit Agreement whereby Fortify agreed
to provide UCA a revolving line of credit of up to $1 million for working
capital purposes. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit are secured by (i) all of the assets of
UCA and the Company and (ii) all of the equity securities of UCA currently owned
or hereafter acquired by the Company.
-12-
Fortify,
UCA and the Company also entered into an Option and Purchase Agreement (“Option
Agreement’). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Fortify has an option to acquire
all of the outstanding shares of common stock of UCA upon effectiveness of this
Information Statement. Upon exercise of the Option by Fortify, we will (a)
receive an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, less the amount of accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the Note, and (b) be released from the guaranty
obligations of the Note. The Company and certain employees of UCA will also be
eligible to receive earn-out payments in connection with the closing of the
Option based upon achievement of certain financial thresholds during a 24-month
period following the closing.
We used
approximately $3 million from the proceeds of the Note to repay all amounts owed
to Laurus Master Fund. The balance of the proceeds was used for repayment of
debt, other payables and for working capital purposes.
On August
24, 2009, we along with our wholly-owned subsidiary, UCA and Fortify entered
into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”) to the Option and Purchase
Agreement (“Option Agreement”) in connection with the closing of
Fortify’s purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of UCA upon
exercise of its option granted under the Option Agreement. Pursuant to the
Amendment, among other things, the Secured Convertible
Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5 million issued by UCA to Fortify
was cancelled, releases of certain obligations of the parties were granted as
specified in the Amendment , and the commencement date and measurement period
for the earn-out and bonuses provided for in the Option Agreement were
modified.
After the
divesture of UCA, we will have no operations. However, the Company will be debt
free. We will explore strategic alternatives, including merging with another
entity. Currently, we do not have any agreement or understanding with any entity
and there is no assurance that such a transaction will ever be
consummated.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The
discussion and analysis and plan of operation is based upon our financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of
these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts
receivable and long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect the judgment and
estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial
statements:
Revenue
Recognition
We derive
revenue as a provider of IT services.
In
accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," revenue is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or services has
occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectibility is reasonably
assured, contractual obligations have been satisfied, and title and risk of loss
have been transferred to the customer.
Arrangements
with customers for services are generally on a time and material basis or
fixed-price, fixed-timeframe basis. Revenue on time-and-material contracts is
recognized as the related services are performed. Revenue for fixed-price,
fixed-timeframe services is recognized as the service is performed. Revenue from
fixed-price, fixed-timeframe service contracts is recognized ratably over the
term of the contract, as per the proportional performance method. When we
receive cash advances from customers in advance of the service period, amounts
are reported as advances from customers until the commencement of the service
period. Billings and collections in excess of revenue recognized are classified
as deferred revenue.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
We
maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of our customers to make required payments. These estimated losses
are based upon historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and
current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates,
resulting in the customer's inability to make payments within approved credit
terms, additional allowances may be required. We perform credit evaluations of
our customers' financial condition on a regular basis.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of the Company's assets and liabilities that qualify as financial
instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107
"Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", presented in the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 approximate their carrying
amounts.
We
account for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, ("SFAS No. 133")
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in
other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Accounting for the changes in
the fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives
qualify as hedge relationships and the types of the relationships designated are
based on the exposures hedged. Changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments which are not designated as hedges are recognized in earnings as
other income (loss).
-14-
We have
issued financial instruments which have required a determination of the fair
value of certain related derivatives, where quoted market prices were not
published or readily available at the date of issuance. We base its fair value
determinations on an evaluation of the facts and circumstances and valuation
techniques that require judgments and estimates.
Goodwill
and Other Intangibles
Goodwill
and other intangibles represent the allocation, pursuant to an independent
appraisal of the cost to acquire UCA Services, in excess of the fair value of
assets acquired. Under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually, as well as
when a triggering event indicates impairment may have occurred. The goodwill
test for impairment consists of a two-step process that begins with an
estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit. The first step of the
process is a screen for potential impairment and the second step measures the
amount of impairment, if any. We will perform a goodwill impairment test
annually, as well as when a triggering event indicates impairment may have
occurred. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant
judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on
internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth, the useful life
over which cash flows will occur, and determination of cost of capital. Changes
in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of
fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment.
Intangible
assets are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Intangible assets
arise from business combinations and consist of customer relationships and
restricted covenants related to employment agreements that are amortized, on a
straight-line basis, over periods of up to six years. The Company follows the
impairment provisions and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 142. Accordingly
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Beginning
January 1, 2006, we account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. Under the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant
date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the
vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated using the Black
Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. This option valuation model
requires input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include
estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options
before exercising them (the "expected term"), the estimated volatility of our
common stock price over the expected term, and the number of options that will
ultimately not complete their vesting requirements ("forfeitures"). Changes in
these assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the fair value of
employee stock options, and consequently, the related amount of stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations.
-15-
RISK
FACTORS
We Are
Subject To Various Risks That May Materially Harm Our Business, Financial
Condition And Results Of Operations
You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the
other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock.
If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial
condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part
of your entire investment.
WHILE
ATTEMPTING TO IDENTIFY A SUITABLE CANDIDATE, WE WILL INCUR FURTHER EXPENSES THAT
CURRENTLY CANNOT BE SPECIFIED.
Our Board
assumes that we will be able to identify as merger candidates privately held
companies with attractive business prospects that have the potential to increase
stockholder value to a greater extent than our current business. At this time,
the Board has not identified a definitive candidate. Following the sale of UCA,
the Company will no longer have any full-time employees. However, the Board of
Directors will continue to serve and, along with the present Chief Executive
Officer, is charged with identifying a target company to acquire. Without
full-time employees, it may take a significant amount of time to identify a
suitable candidate for a business combination with us. During such time, we will
have further expenses such as general legal and accounting/auditing fees, none
of which can be specified at this time, but will deplete our financial resources
and thereby make it more difficult for the Company to identify a suitable
candidate for a business combination on satisfactory terms, if at
all.
WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE A COMPANY WITH ONGOING BUSINESS
OPERATIONS.
Our Board
believes that privately held companies will be interested in a merger with our
Company that, after the sale of UCA, would allow the private company to "go
public," i.e., have publicly traded securities without an initial public
offering. However, many private companies seeking to "go public" may prefer an
initial public offering to a merger with a public shell (a public traded company
with no operating business). Moreover, the Securities and Exchange Commission
typically evaluates the merger of a public shell with a private company. This
can be a time-consuming and cost-intensive review process for the parties
involved in the merger that could discourage privately held companies from any
transaction with a public shell. If, subsequent to the sale of UCA, we are not
able to merge with an operating company, whether a privately held company or a
company subject to the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act from
1934, our financial reserves will most likely not be sufficient for us to start
any kind of operating business on our own. Therefore, there can be no guarantee
that we will operate any business after the sale of UCA.
-16-
WE
DO NOT KNOW WHICH BUSINESS WE WILL OPERATE IN THE FUTURE, IF ANY.
As
described above, we do not know which business, if any, we will be operating in
the future, subsequent to a sale of UCA. Even if we are able to commence new
business operations, there can be no guarantee that we will be
successful.
"GOING
CONCERN" QUALIFICATION IN AUDIT OPINION.
The
Company received a report from its independent registered public accounting firm
for the year ended December 31, 2008, containing an explanatory paragraph
stating that the Company's recurring losses from continuing operations and the
Company's intention to sell its sole operating business raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern during the twelve
months ending December 31, 2009.
LIQUIDITY
RISK: THERE MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE RESOURCES TO FUND THE OPERATIONS OF THE
COMPANY.
There is
no assurance that the future expenses of the Company (including the expenses of
maintaining the Company as a public company under SEC regulations) will not be
greater than anticipated, and that, as a result, a liquidity problem may arise
as we may have insufficient funds to operate any business.
OUR
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS CAN CONTROL OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Five of
our principal stockholders, including directors and officers, own approximately
63.2% of our outstanding common stock. They can effectively elect a majority of
our directors and thereby control our management.
IF
WE DO NOT MAKE FUTURE FILINGS WITH THE SEC IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR STOCKHOLDERS
MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
As of
April 1, 2008 , we have not filed any annual, quarterly or periodic reports with
the SEC and received notice from the OTC that we were not in compliance with its
rules, which require timely filing of periodic reports in order to maintain our
continued quotation on the bulletin boa r d. As a result, the Company’s common
stock is currently quoted on the Pink Sheets. Future delays in the filing of
timely periodic reports may negatively affect the quotation of our common stock.
As a consequence, an investor could find it more difficult t o dispose of, or to
obtain quotations as to the price of, our common stock, and the liquidity of the
Company ’ s common stock will be greatly reduced. In addition, the lack of
regular current filings may affect the value of the share price since it may be
difficult for a shareholder to evaluate properly the Company’s performance and
future prospects. Furthermore, the Company could be subject to enforcement
action by the SEC if it does not file its periodic reports.

Statements.
ITEM
9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
As
previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K filed on January 26, 2007, the
Board of Directors of the Company dismissed J J.H. Cohn LLP (‘JHC”) as the
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of the Company on January 24,
2007.
On
January 24, 2007, the Company hired Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP ("GGK") to serve
as the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. During the
period that JHC had acted as the Company's independent accountants, the Company
did not consult with GGK on any matter that (i) involved the application of
accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
statements, in each case where written or oral advice was provided, that was an
important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) was either the
subject of a disagreement or event, as that term is described in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B.
During
the Company's December 31, 2005 fiscal year and through January 24, 2007, there
were no disagreements with JHC on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of JHC, would have caused
them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection
with their reports. During our two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent
interim period through the date JHC was dismissed, JHC did not advise the
Company as to any reportable events of the type described in Item

Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. GGK's December
31, 2006 audit report relating to GGK's audit of Company's financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 included an emphasis paragraph

were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and GGK on any matters of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
GGK, would have caused GGK to make reference to the subject matter of the

year, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Such controls and procedures, by
their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s
control objectives.
The
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer, on the effectiveness of the design and operation of
its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 as of December 31, 2007. However,
disclosure controls were not effective because the Company did not file this
report on a timely basis.
There was
no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended
December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, the chief executive officer
and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO
framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission,
to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our
control environment.
Based on
our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management has
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2008.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s
report in this annual report.

Our non
executive directors will receive an initial grant of stock options to purchase
125,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market
value. The options shall vest into 15,625 shares of common stock on the date of
grant and thereafter into 15,625 shares every three months for as long as the
board member is a member of our Board of Directors as of such date. The option
shall have a term of ten years from the date of grant. Every member of the Board
of Directors who is not an employee shall be entitled to a bi-annual grant of
Stock Options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock on the two year
anniversary of the initial grant date and for every two year anniversary of such
date thereafter for as long as the member is a member of the Board of Directors.
The options shall vest into 15,625 shares of common stock on the date of grant
and into 15,625 shares of common stock every three months thereafter. The
options shall have a term of ten years. The exercise price shall be the fair
market value on the date of grant. Independent directors are also reimbursed for
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attendance at board meetings and
committee meetings. In April 2006, we granted Joseph Perno stock options to
purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock. In March 2005, we granted each of
our then three non executive directors, Charlotte G. Denenberg, Richard R.
Howard and Madelyn M. DeMatteo, stock options to purchase 125,000 shares of
common stock. Each of our non-employee directors are entitled to receive 12,000
in 2006 for attending board Meetings
2005
Stock Option Plan
In March
2005, our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted our 2005 Stock Option
Plan, pursuant to which 9,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options. Our stock option plan is designed to serve as
an incentive for retaining qualified and competent employees, directors and
consultants. Our Board of Directors or a committee of our Board of Directors
administers our stock option plan and is authorized, in its discretion, to grant
options under our stock option plan to all eligible employees, including our
officers, directors (whether or not employees) and consultants. Our stock option
plan provides for the granting of both "incentive stock options" (as defined in
Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and non-qualified stock
options. Options can be granted under our stock option plan on such terms and at
such prices as determined by the Board of Directors or its committee, except
that the per share exercise price of options will not be less than the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant. In the case of an
incentive stock option granted to a stockholder who owns stock possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all of our classes of stock, the
per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value on
the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value (determined on the date of
grant) of the shares covered by incentive stock options granted under our stock
option plan that become exercisable by a grantee for the first time in any
calendar year is subject to a $100,000 limit. Options granted under our stock
option plan will be exercisable during the period or periods specified in each
option agreement. Options granted under our stock option plan are not
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant (five years
in the case of incentive stock options granted to a stockholder owning stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all of our
classes of stock) and are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

at a conversion price of $.50 per share. In connection with the sale, we issued
300,000 shares of its common stock as additional consideration. In December
2006, Fred Nazem extended the maturity of the Stockholder Convertible Debenture
to April 2007. In August
2007, the Company entered into an Agreement to Convert (the “Agreement”) with
Fred Nazem, a stockholder. Pursuant to this Agreement, the stockholder agreed to
convert $218,882 due to him in outstanding convertible debentures and accrued
interest of $18,882 into 5,472,050 shares of common stock, which includes
4,900,394 shares as an inducement for conversion.
We had a
sublease with UCA Global, Inc., an entity affiliated with Faisal Syed, a
stockholder . The lease is for an office of 13,000 square feet for a three year
term through July 2008 with an annual rent of $144,000. The sublease rent was
determined by the landlord based on the area of usage and we pay our share of
rent directly to the landlord. Pursuant to
entering into a lease for a new office premises, the Company has terminated the
sublease arrangement effective June 2007.
In the
normal course of business, the Company performed services for and billed Clear
to Close, Inc., an entity affiliated with the Company's stockholders, in the
amounts of $0 and $0, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. As of December 31, 2007, approximately $235,000 was owed to the Company by
Clear to Close, Inc. including amounts owed to UCA prior to the acquisition and
a full allowance is provided due to uncertainty over the recovery of the
amount.
ITEM
14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Through
September 30, 2005, Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP ( "GGK") had a continuing
relationship with American Express Tax and Business Services Inc. ("TBS") from
which it leased auditing staff who were full time, permanent employees of TBS
and through which its partners provided non-audit services. Subsequent to
September 30, 2005 this relationship ceased and GGK established a similar
relationship with RSM McGladrey, Inc. GGK has no full time employees, and,
therefore, none of the audit services performed were provided by permanent,
full-time employees of GGK. GGK manages and supervises the audit and audit staff
and is exclusively responsible for the opinion rendered in connection with its
examination. GGK performed an audit of our annual financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
Certain
of the partners of GGK became partners of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP in a
limited asset purchase agreement effective October 3, 2007. As a result, GGK
resigned as our auditors effective December 4, 2007 and McGladrey & Pullen,
LLP was appointed as the auditors of our annual financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2007.
Audit
Fees
The
aggregate fees billed or to be billed for professional services rendered by our
independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of our annual
financial statements, review of financial statements included in our quarterly
reports and other fees that are normally provided by the accounting firm in
connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $106,000 and $170,000, respectively.
For 2007, 125,000 of fees was billed by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP and $45,000
was billed by GGK.
Audit
Related Fees
The
aggregate fees billed or to be billed for audit related services by our
independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, other than those
previously reported in this Item 14, for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 were $0 and $0, respectively.
-26-
Tax
Fees
The
aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by our independent
registered public accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice and tax
planning for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $0 and $0,
respectively.
All
Other Fees
There
were no other fees billed for services by our independent registered public
accounting firm for either audit related or non audit services for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The Audit
Committee considered and determined that the services performed are compatible
with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public
accounting firm.
Policy on
Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of
Independent Auditor
The Audit
Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit
services to be performed for us by our Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm as outlined in its Audit Committee charter. Prior to engagement of the
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for each year's audit, management
or the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm submits to the Audit
Committee for approval an aggregate request of services expected to be rendered
during the year, which the Audit Committee pre-approves. During the year,
circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm for additional services not contemplated in
the original pre-approval. In those circumstances, the Audit Committee requires
specific pre-approval before engaging the Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm. Currently, the Company does not have an audit committee and in
accordance with ss.3(a)(58)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
entire Board of Directors is acting as the Company's Audit Committee. The entire
Board of Directors does not delegate to management its responsibility to
pre-approve services performed by the Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
NetFabric
Holdings, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NetFabric Holdings, Inc.
and Subsidiaries (hereafter referred to as “NetFabric”) as of December 31, 2008
and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of NetFabric as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has had net losses from inception and has a
working capital deficiency. These matters raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
As
disclosed in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, subsequent to
December 31, 2008 the Company was involved in a financing
transaction.

NOTE
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
NetFabric
Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings" or the "Company") (formerly known as Houston
Operating Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on
August 31, 1989. On December 9, 2004, Holdings entered into an Exchange
Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement" or "Share Exchange") with all of the
stockholders of NetFabric Corporation ("NetFabric") whereby Holdings acquired
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NetFabric and NetFabric
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Upon completion of the merger, the
NetFabric stockholders controlled approximately 95% of the then issued and
outstanding stock. NetFabric's business activities were the activities of the
merged company and Holdings was a shell corporation without any operations. As a
result of these factors, this transaction was treated as a reverse merger for
financial reporting purposes
NetFabric,
a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 17, 2002, began operations in
July 2003. NetFabric developed and marketed Voice Over Internet Protocol
("VoIP") appliances that simplified the integration of standard telephone
systems with an IP infrastructure. On May 5, 2006, the Company announced its
decision to exit from the hardware-based VoIP communications product line
(including resale of transport services) that is targeted at small to mid-sized
businesses ("SMB's"). In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", ("SFAS No. 144"), the Company has presented the results of operations
from its VoIP business segment as discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash
flows (Note 3).
On May
20, 2005, Holdings entered into and closed on a share exchange agreement
("Exchange Agreement"), whereby Holdings acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of UCA Services, Inc. ("UCA Services"), a New Jersey company,
from its shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 24,096,154 shares of
common stock of Holdings. Holdings emerged from the development stage upon the
acquisition of UCA Services. In May 2007, UCA Services changed its
legal name to NetFabric Technologies, Inc.
UCA
Services, a New Jersey company, is an information technology ("IT") services
company that serves the information and communications needs of a wide range of
Fortune 500 and small to mid-size business clients in the financial markets
industry as well as the pharmaceutical, health care and hospitality sectors. UCA
Services delivers a broad range of IT services in the practice areas of
infrastructure builds and maintenance, managed services and professional
services.
Management's
plans
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Company has incurred accumulated losses totaling $38,103,721 and has a
working capital deficit of $6,212,328 at December 31, 2008. These factors, among
others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management
recognizes that the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to allow the Company to continue
the development of its business plans and satisfy its current and long-term
obligations on a timely basis. The Company believes that it will be able to
complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash requirements throughout
fiscal 2009 and continue its business development efforts.

NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
In March
2009, the company entered into a transaction with Fortify Infrastructure
Services, Inc. See Note 16. Pursuant the transaction, the Company will transfer
its ownership interest in UCA Services. Out of proceeds from the transaction,
the Company repaid all of its debt. After the eventual divesture of
UCA, the Company will not have any operations. However, the Company will be debt
free. The Company will explore strategic alternatives including merger with
another entity. Currently, the Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with any entity and there is no assurance that such a transaction
will ever be consummated.
NOTE
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND
PRACTICES
Basis
of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Estimates
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The accounting estimates that require management's most
difficult and subjective judgments include the value and allocation of purchase
price in business combinations, provisions for bad debts,
depreciable/amortizable lives, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived
assets, the fair value of common stock and options issued for services as well
as the allocation of proceeds from the bridge loan to and financial instruments
and other reserves. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates,
actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," revenue is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or services has
occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably
assured, contractual obligations have been satisfied, and title and risk of loss
have been transferred to the customer.
The
Company derives revenue primarily from professional services, managed IT
services, application development services and from business process management
services. Arrangements with customers for services are generally on a time and
material basis or fixed-price, fixed-timeframe. Revenue on time-and-material
contracts is recognized as the related services are performed. Revenue from
fixed-price, fixed-timeframe service contracts is recognized ratably over the
term of the contract. When the Company receives cash advances from customers in
advance of the service period, amounts are reported as advances from customers
until the commencement of the service period.
Billings
and collections in excess of revenue recognized are classified as deferred
revenue.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. These
estimated losses are based upon historical bad debts, specific customer
creditworthiness and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a
customer deteriorates, resulting in the customer's inability to make payments
within approved credit terms, additional allowances may be required. The Company
performs credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition on a regular
basis, and has not experienced any material bad debt losses to date. The Company
recorded allowances for bad debts of $32,609 and $24,623 during years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
doubtful allowance balances were $43,300 and $297,946,
respectively.
-38-
NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment and furniture and
fixtures, are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for
on a straight line basis over the following useful lives:
Equipment
|
3
years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
7
years
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
Lesser
of life of lease or useful
life
|
Repairs
and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are retired
or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization
are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reported in the
period realized.
Long-Lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite
lives, are monitored and reviewed for impairment in value whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may
not be recoverable. The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate
of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its
eventual disposition. The estimated cash flows are based upon, among other
things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance, growth
rates and other factors. Estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from
actual cash flows due to factors such as technological changes, economic
conditions, and changes in the Company's business model or operating
performance. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is
below the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized, measured as the
amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the
asset.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The
Company reduces credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major
financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, such amounts may
exceed Federally insured limits. The Company reduces credit risk related to
accounts receivable by routinely assessing the financial strength of its
customers and maintaining an appropriate allowance for doubtful
accounts.
The
Company's services have been provided primarily to a limited number of clients
located in a variety of industries. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the
Company had revenues from 2 clients representing 63% (49% and 14%, respectively)
of the revenues during the year. The Company had revenues from 2 clients
representing 49% (39% and 10%, respectively) of revenues during the year ended
December 31, 2007.
The
Company generally does not require its clients to provide collateral.
Additionally, the Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk with
respect to its accounts receivable. The Company had 3 clients accounting for 74%
(41%, 23% and 10%, respectively) of total gross accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2007, the Company had 3 clients accounting
for 68.3% (41%, 14.7% and 12.6%, respectively) of total gross accounts
receivable.

NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries

Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the Company's allocation of the cost to acquire UCA Services in
excess of the fair value of net assets acquired. The purchase price and its
allocation, to reflect the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, have been based upon management's evaluation using accepted valuation
methodologies.
Under
SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), goodwill
is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually. The Company performs
its annual goodwill impairment testing, by reporting units, in the second
quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Application of the goodwill impairment
test requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows,
which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of
growth for UCA Services, period over which cash flows will occur, and
determination of UCA Services cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and
assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or
conclusions on goodwill impairment for UCA Services. Goodwill at December 31,
2008 and 2007 was $5,704,000.
Intangibles
Intangible
assets are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Intangible assets
arise from business combinations and consist of customer relationships and
restricted covenants related to employment agreements that are amortized, on a
straight-line basis, over periods of up to six years. The Company follows the
impairment provisions and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 142. Accordingly
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Intangible assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $456,564
and $659,687, respectively.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
values of the Company's assets and liabilities that qualify as financial
instruments under statement of financial accounting standards ("SFAS") No. 107
approximate their carrying or principal amounts presented in the balance sheets
at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The
Company has issued financial instruments which have required a determination of
the fair value of certain related derivatives, where quoted market prices were
not published or readily available at the date of issuance. The Company bases
its fair value determinations on an evaluation of the facts and circumstances
and valuation techniques that require judgments and estimates.
Share-Based
Compensation Expense
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123(R)") which requires
the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based
payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.
SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25") for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") relating to SFAS 123(R). The
Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123(R).
-40-
NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated
statements of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company
accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123"). Under the intrinsic value method, stock-based compensation expense was
recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations based on the
difference between the exercise price of the Company's stock options granted to
employees and directors, and the fair market value of the underlying stock at
the date of grant.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more
likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance
on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current
and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and
penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim
periods and income tax disclosures.
As a
result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company performed a review of its
portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards
established by FIN 48. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents
the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return,
or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in
measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. Based on its
review, the Company concluded that there are no significant unrecognized tax
positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The
Company does not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized
tax positions over the next 12 months
The
Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state, local and
foreign jurisdiction tax returns. The income tax returns are subject to
examinations by tax authorities.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued as a component
of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not
have any penalties or tax-related interest, and there was no tax- related
interest or penalties recognized during the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007.

Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
The
Company calculates earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 computes basic earnings (loss) per share by
dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effects of any
dilutive securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the impact of
potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss
because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive
effect. The Company's potentially dilutive securities include common shares
which may be issued upon exercise of its stock options, exercise of warrants or
conversion of convertible debt.
Diluted
loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 exclude
potentially issuable common shares of approximately 10,855,219 and 14,493,856 ,
respectively, primarily related to the Company's outstanding stock options,
warrants and convertible debt, because the assumed issuance of such potential
common shares is antidilutive.
SEGMENT
REPORTING
The
Company determines and discloses its segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
uses a "management" approach for determining segments. The management approach
designates the internal organization that is used by management for making
operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of a company's
reportable segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products or
services, geographic areas and major customers. In 2006, we discontinued VoIP
segment and operate in one segment.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," (“SFAS
No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair
value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other statements require or
permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently
evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. (“FAS 159”) is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to
specific requirements outlined in FAS 159. Therefore, calendar-year companies
may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial
statements.
FAS 159
allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible
financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required
to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an
eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods
must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparisons between entities that
elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.
Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
-42-
NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which
replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R)
establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the
goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements that
will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has not completed
its evaluation of the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No.
141(R) on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership
interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained
noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements
that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. SFAS No.160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year
that begins after December 15, 2008 (our Fiscal 2010). The Company has not
completed its evaluation of the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of
SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows.
The
Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted will have material effect on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
NOTE
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 5,
2006, the Company announced its decision to exit from the hardware-based VoIP
communications product line (including resale of transport services) that is
targeted at SMB's. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", ("SFAS No. 144"), the Company recorded loss from discontinued
operations of $53,398 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenues from VoIP
operations have been nominal in all periods presented and operating expenses are
the losses reported.

NOTE
7. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
Goodwill
represents the Company’s allocation of the cost to acquire UCA Services in
excess of the fair value of net assets acquired. The purchase price and its
allocation, to reflect the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, have been based on management’s evaluation using accepted
valuation methodologies.
Pursuant
to SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets,” (“SFAS No. 142”), the
Company performed its annual testing of goodwill impairment in the second
quarter of 2007. As a part of goodwill impairment testing, management reviewed
various factors, such as the market price of the Company’s common stock,
discounted cash flows from projected earnings and values of comparable companies
to determine whether impairment exists. Based on this evaluation it was
determined that the goodwill was impaired. The impairment was due to a
continued decline in the Company’s market capitalization during
the past year, and due to lower future cash flows expected to be generated
by the business due to working capital constraints. The implied value of the
goodwill was $10,585,000 compared to a carrying value of $13,982,451, indicating
an impairment of $3,397,451. The impairment loss was charged to operations
during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

The
Company evaluated its business conditions and future strategic direction
including the delisting of its common shares from trading on the Bulletin Board
(“OTCBB”) and concluded that an interim testing of goodwill is warranted at
December 31, 2007. As a part of the interim goodwill impairment testing,
management reviewed various factors and used a market approach (comparison of
financial data for publicly traded companies engaged in similar lines of
business) to determine whether impairment exists. Based on this evaluation, it
was determined that the goodwill was impaired. The impairment was, in part, due
to decreased values of comparable companies. The implied value of goodwill was
$5,704,000 compared to carrying value of $10,585,000, indicating an impairment
of $4,881,000. The additional impairment loss was charged to operations during
the three months ended December 31, 2007. In total an impairment loss of
$8,278,451 was charged to operations during the year ended December 31,
2007.

Laurus
Convertible and Non Convertible Financings
On
February 14, 2006, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, dated February
10, 2006 with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd ("Laurus"). Under the Security Agreement,
Laurus purchased from the Company a Secured Convertible Note from the Company
with a maturity date of February 10, 2009 (the "Laurus Convertible Note") in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 and a Secured Non-Convertible Revolving
Note ("Laurus Revolving Note"), in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000.
The Laurus Convertible Note and the Laurus Revolving Note are collectively the
"Laurus Notes". In 2009, the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2009. See
Note 15.The Company's ability to receive financing under the Laurus Notes is
based on an advance rate equal to 90% of eligible accounts receivable, as
defined.
-46-
NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
However,
Laurus has agreed to provide the Company an over advance until July 30, 2007 and
the overadvance feature was extended in 2007. Through December 31, 2007
$1,500,000 was advanced for the Laurus Convertible Note and $1,276,949 was
outstanding for the Laurus Revolving Note. The Laurus Convertible Note has a
three-year term, and bears interest at 1% above the prime rate, with a minimum
interest rate of 8%. Laurus has the option, at any time until February 9, 2009
to convert all or any portion of the Laurus Convertible Note and accrued
interest into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of
$0.91 per share. The Company has the option, to repay the Laurus Convertible
Note by paying Laurus the principal amount, accrued interest and a certain
redemption premium, as defined.
The
Laurus Revolving Note has a three-year term and bears interest at 1% above the
prime rate, with a minimum interest rate of 8%.
In
connection with the Laurus Notes, the Company issued to Laurus an option (the
"Laurus Option") to purchase up to 4,256,550 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. Additionally, the Company and
Laurus entered into a registration rights agreement (the " Laurus Registration
Rights Agreement") covering the registration of common stock underlying the
Laurus Convertible Note and the Laurus Option.
The
Company's obligations under the Laurus Notes are secured by first liens on all
assets of the Company, and Laurus may accelerate all obligations under the
Laurus Notes upon an event of default.
The
Company allocated the $1,500,000 of proceeds from the Laurus Convertible Note
based on the computed relative fair values of the debt and stock instruments
issued. The Laurus Options were valued using a Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions: (1) common stock fair value of $0.95 per
share (2) expected volatility of 71.26%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.59%,
(4) life of 10 years and (5) no dividend, which resulted in a fair value of
$2,569,546 for the Laurus Options. The resulting relative fair value of the
Laurus Options was $918,923. Accordingly, the resulting relative fair value
allocated to the debt component of $511,577 was used to measure the intrinsic
value of the embedded conversion option of $1,054,357 which resulted in a
beneficial conversion feature of $511,577 recorded to additional paid-in
capital. The aggregate amounts allocated to the Laurus Options and beneficial
conversion feature, of $1,430,500 were recorded as a debt discount at the date
of issuance of the Laurus Convertible Notes and are being amortized to interest
expense using the interest method over the three-year term. For the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, $502,912 and $499,544, respectively, of debt
discount was accreted and recorded as amortization of debt
discounts.
The
Company allocated the $1,028,000 of proceeds from the Laurus Revolving Note
based on the computed relative fair values of the debt and Laurus Options. The
Laurus Options were valued using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions: (1) common stock fair value of $0.95 per share (2)
expected volatility of 71.26%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.59%, (4) life of
10 years and (5) no dividend, which resulted in a fair value of $1,471,494 for
the options. The resulting relative fair value of the Laurus Options was
$513,820. Accordingly, the resulting relative fair value allocated to the debt
component was $275,680. The aggregate amount allocated to the options of
$513,820 was recorded as a debt discount at the date of issuance of the Laurus
Notes and are being amortized to interest expense using the interest method
three-year term. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, $260,388 and
$177,709, respectively, of debt discount was accreted and recorded as
amortization of debt discounts.

Transaction
fees of $139,000 paid to Laurus and its affiliates in connection with the Laurus
Notes were netted against the proceeds and considered in the calculation of the
beneficial conversion feature and accreted over the term of notes. Financing
costs of $20,696 paid to third parties associated with the Laurus Notes are
included as debt issuance costs in other assets and amortized over the term of
the debt.
The
Company utilized approximately $1.9 million of the initial borrowing from Laurus
to repay all amounts owed under all amounts owed pursuant a
debenture.
In
October 2007, the Company and Laurus entered into an extensions agreement (the
“Extension Agreement’). The Extension Agreement provides for the extension of
the over advance feature until February 2009. However, the over advance amount
will reduce by $5,000 each month from November 2007 to February 2008 and by
$50,000 each month starting March of 2008. The Company paid $15,000 fees
to Laurus for the extension and the amount was charged to operations as
amortization of debt issuance cost during the year ended December 31,
2007.
In 2008,
the Company and Laurus entered into two waiver/ amendment agreements, pursuant
to which Laurus waived the Company’s non compliance of certain terms of the
Security Agreement including the Company’s decision to stop periodic filing
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In exchange for the waivers
the Company issued Laurus 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. In addition, the
Company agreed to pay Laurus additional interest of 3.5% on the outstanding loan
balance from June 1, 2008. The additional interest will be payable to Laurus
upon maturity of the credit facility in March 2009.
2006
Convertible Debentures
In 2006,
the Company sold eight Convertible Debentures (the " 2006 Convertible
Debentures") in the face amount of $800,000 to six individuals (the "Debenture
Holders" or a "Debenture Holder") including $150,000 face value to an officer
and director, and $50,000 face value to a stockholder of the Company. The 2006
Convertible Debentures bear interest at 8% and were for a term of three months.
At the option of the Debenture Holders, the 2006 Convertible Debentures can be
converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of
$.50 per share. In connection with the sale, the Company issued warrants to
three Debenture Holders to acquire an aggregate of 750,000 shares of its common
stock with a nominal exercise price. The warrants expire in three years from the
date of issuance. The remaining three Debenture Holders received an aggregate of
225,000 shares of the Company's common stock as additional
consideration.
The
Company used part of the proceeds from the sale of the 2006 Debentures to repay
$500,000 due to the Macrocom Investors, LLC ("Macrocom") pursuant to a debenture
issued in July of 2005.
The
Company allocated the $800,000 of proceeds received from the 2006 Convertible
Debentures to debt, warrants and stock instruments issued based on the then
computed relative fair values. The fair value of the shares issued was $168,750
which resulted in a relative fair value of $103,271. The warrants issued were
valued using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions: (1) common stock fair value of $0.75 per share (2) expected
volatility of 71.26%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.86%, (4) life of 3 years
and (5) no dividend, which resulted in a fair value of $198,901 and a relative
fair value of $133,969. Additionally, the resulting relative fair value
allocated to the debt component was used to measure the intrinsic value of the
embedded conversion option of the 2006 Convertible Debentures which resulted in
a beneficial conversion feature with a fair value of $444,010. The relative fair
value of $305,990 was recorded to additional paid-in capital. The value of the
beneficial conversion feature was limited to the amount of the proceeds
allocated to the debt component of the 2006 Convertible Debentures. The
aggregate amounts allocated to the warrants, stock instruments and beneficial
conversion feature, of $543,220 were recorded as a debt discount at the date of
issuance of the 2006 Convertible Debentures and were amortized to interest
expense using the interest method over the originally stated term of the 2006
Convertible Debentures. During the year ended December 31, 2007, $14,823 of
discount was accreted and recorded as amortization of debt discounts and debt
issuance costs included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.

On June
8, 2006, the Company sold a Convertible Debenture in the face amount of $150,000
to a stockholder (the "Stockholder Convertible Debenture"). The Stockholder

Company allocated the $150,000 of proceeds received from the Stockholder
Convertible Debenture based on the computed relative fair values of the debt and
stock instruments issued. The fair value of the common stock issued was $105,000
which resulted in a relative fair value of $61,764. Additionally, the resulting
relative fair value allocated to the debt component was used to measure the
intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option of the Stockholder Convertible
Debenture which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $16,765 recorded
to additional paid-in capital. The aggregate amounts allocated to the stock
instruments and beneficial conversion feature, of $78,529 were recorded as a
debt discount at the date of issuance of the Stockholder Convertible Debenture

4,900,394 shares as an inducement for conversion. The principal amount of
$200,000 consisted of $150,000 of Stockholder Convertible Debenture and $50,000
of 2006 Convertible Debenture. The fair value of the inducement to convert
approximated $539,000 and was charged to operations during the year ended
December 31, 2007 as debt inducement costs.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As a
result of the Share Exchange, on March 3, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted
the 2005 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which 9,000,000
shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of options. The
purpose of the Plan is to encourage and enable the employees, directors and
consultants of the Company upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the
Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company. The Plan became effective on April 19,
2005.
From time
to time, the Company issues stock-based compensation to its officers, directors,
employees and consultants. The maximum term of options granted is generally 10
years and generally options vest over a period of one to four years. However,
the Board of Directors of the Company may approve other vesting schedules. The
Company has issued options to employees and non-employees under stock option
agreements. Options may be exercised in whole or in part.
-51-
NetFabric
Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
The
exercise price of stock options granted is generally the fair market value of
the Company's common stock as determined by the Board of Directors on the date
of grant, considering factors such as the sale of stock, results of operations,
and consideration of the fair value of comparable private companies in the
industry.
The fair
value of each stock option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below. The assumption for
expected term is based on evaluations of expected future employee exercise
behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the
date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at
the grant date. The historical volatility of comparables companies' stock is
used as the basis for the volatility assumption. The Company has never paid cash
dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus assumed
a 0% dividend yield. The Company did not grant any stock options during the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

has been completely offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of
its realization. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 provides for limitations on
the use of net operating loss carryforwards in years subsequent to a more than
50% change in ownership (as defined by Section 382), which limitations can
significantly impact the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss
carryforwards. As a result of the sale of the shares in private offering and
issuance of shares for acquisition and other transactions, and changes in
ownership may have occurred which might result in limitations on the utilization
of the net operating loss carryforwards. The extent of any limitations as a
result of changes in ownership has not been determined by the
Company.
